Hanz is very upset that his winter gear did not arrive in time.

Nice to be able to take a 1;16 out in -30 and run it....but the photo of the 1;1 scale M-46 under my address was taken at -35 and was my "home" ....and no place to go inside and warm up. We used the mufflers.[:@] You go outside with these thiungs in that weather, voluntarilly? [X(]

Thanks for all the compliments guys.

Thanks Pattoncommander for serving and keeping our countries safe.

Panedev, the white wash is with Hanz's winter gear. The last supply truck is MIA! One day I will do a winter wash but on another tank.

YHR, -40

I am working on screens for the engine deck and will do some minor weathering. I have finished my Tamiya Panther, I just have to weather it as well. I will try to get pictures later.

Turbo, if you see this, look at my antenna! Thanks for the tip.[sm=thumbs_up.gif]

This whole rc tank thing is very addicting!

It's a stock Matorro with a fan on the board. I repainted it and moved the antenna. I purchased metal tracks but the motors are weak for the extra weight.
