Introduction from Ray Y.

Hello all! Some of you have already met me at the October 12th on the Battle day.

My name is Ray Yang. I was Born in Seoul, South Korea and currently live in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

I’ve Battled and helped out somewhat at the AAF Tank Museum in Danville before they closed, and I enjoy weird one-off Tanks. My favorite Tank is the STRV-103.

I speak Korean, German, Polish and English, all terribly.

Attached in the post is my M4A3E8 built with a Tamiya base and an Andy’s Hobby Headquarter’s Upper. This guy has been with me since I was 14 and has been through 3 rebuilds now. Also my Tamiya Abrams that I just finished this week. (I Think I have attached them correctly. Still figuring out this posting process)

I post my Tanks and Build Logs somewhat regularly on Instagram @spicycurrywurst. But i will make an attempt to post here more often and go to more Battle days!

Welcome!

Welcome Ray I heard about your visit although I was in Germany for that battleday. Hope you can make it out a lot next year. We really need as many new participants in this niche hobby as we can get these days. We keep making the field better by the week and it's good that the Can-Am moniker might be relevant again Very Happy

I have often wondered why the Detroit area tankers on RCU have never come up to visit since one of our founding members drives up from Windsor almost every battleday

Welcome Ray! You have found a great group. And defiantly closer than Danville. These guys need a Am replacement since I moved away a couple years ago from Western New York. Cheers!

Thanks mate. I actually grew up in North Carolina Right on the NC VA border so it within a 2 hour drive for me. It was pretty Convenient!

Thank you!

I will say the border has been pretty hard to cross due to some of the Major Detroit Highways having lots of construction so it has been difficult getting to Canada whenever Traffic is present. At least, that’s my Experience. It is cool that you were in Germany! I have a few Friends in Leipzig and Offenbach am Main

Welcome Ray!

Great looking tanks Smile

I really like the thunderbolt additional front plate on the Sherman

Also what mods do you have in your Subie?

Hi Mitch!

Subie is bone stock but needs a new clutch this month.

The applique Armor was from SOL model! Made it based on the 6th Armored Division’s modifications. It was pretty surprising to see just how many Shermans got this treatment, not just Thunderbolt. I can make a separate Post about my build. Lots to Share.
