Hello all

This is my first model tank since I was about 10 when I made some Airfix
kit-can't remember which but nevertheless a few years ago!

This is a Tamiya RC 1/16th scale full option kit. I wanted this finished in the quickest possible time so last Sunday 23rd October I went for it and tonight (Sunday 30th It's nearly done). Yes, spent hours and hours on this.

I have to do a bit of filling on the main gun and add the last pieces of equipment and that will be it.

I am amazed at how easy this went together, it was effortless. Everything lined up and fitted as it should without any trouble whatsoever.

And the sounds are fantastic.

Looks really nice. I'm not a tank modeller, but do like the look and sound of some. Don't know which ones they are called lol. You've done a great job in the period of time you have done it in.

Great job on the build. I remember building the first RC tanks Tamiya brought out and they went together well even back then.
