Good evening RC tankers,

Hope everyone is keeping well & safe.

This is Pete and I'm new to the hobby. Just dropping in to say hi to everyone, 
and share a couple pics of my new toys...hope you enjoy!

Heng Long 1/16 M4A3 Sherman, 6th Armored Division, 69th tank battalion:


Heng Long 1/16 Tiger 1, Das Reich Division, 8 Kompanie:


Have a good weekend & belated Happy New Year

Cheers, Pete

Welcome and some good starting tanks!

Thanks Jarlath! Best Regards, Pete

Good start for sure Pete !

Thanks Mike! I painted, weathered & detailed (using both HL & Peddinghaus decals) the HL Tiger based on a 1943 Das Reich scheme from Tiger In Action by Bruce Culver. The HL Sherman already comes with restrained weathering that I liked. I just did a pin wash in some areas, painted the figure & used the supplied HL decals to replicate a Sherman from the 6th Armored based on pics from the web. Cheers, Pete

I figure as much, the Tiger does not look like stock.

Hope to see you out at the K/W battle field at some point. Keep checking here for dates as we have been doing social distanced (Tanks and Tankers) battles last year.

Sounds great! Hope to be able to make my way down there and/or to Mississauga at some point in the near future.

yep good start and a long way to go with help from the guys they will get you there Doug

Thanks Doug! Sounds great, I know you can mod/upgrade these tanks to the n'th degree, plus for any issues with disassembly/repairs... it's good to know that there is such a wealth of experience available from the other members.  Thanks again!
