    Default RC Tanks

    Gentlemen,
    I seem to have been bit by the 1/16 scale radio control tank bug. The detail is extremely good and most of what I have has airsoft cannon, shooting 6mm ball (plastic). I have 2 early model German Tigers, a Panzer, US Walker Bulldog and an Abrams. They seem to have bred over the last few months. Looking forward to collecting a few allied tanks of the period. Over all the rc stuff that is available is pretty amazing, ww2 fighters and bombers with even retractable under carriage. Guess I may be entering my second childhood. Any other members suffering this malaize ??

    Cheers
    Keep yo hoss well shod an yo powdah dry !

    Have wanted an all-metal Tiger kit from Armortek for several years now but have never had the time, money (~$4700), or space...

    I've always been wanting to get into RC sailing. Tanks with guns though would be cool.

    Very cool hobby. I've always loved tanks myself. I'd be very interested in seeing pictures of your collection.

    Cheers and thanks for the interest
