Hello,

My name is Justin Day, or armornut. I've been running tanks since before the dmd units, was in BAT for several years, left and helped form Kelly's Hero's. Long story short, left Kelly's hero's on bad terms and went silent. I used to run the yahoo group armornut's rc armor hut.

I've built 3 Tamiya Tiger 1s, 2 Tamiya Shermans, a Bandi Stug IV conversion, a 1/6 scale armortech jagd panther and heavily modified a 21st century stuart.

I got rid of all of them and stopped the hobby 3 years ago, sold all of my tanks (I regret the armortech jagd panther every damn day) as the result of a divorce.

Now, I'm back. Some will groan at the sight of my name, some will not remember, and hopefully some will Remember me and still be cool.

I'm looking at tanks to get back in the hobby. My inclinations are a Mato Stug or Panzer III versus the imex all metal king tiger. I've read the reviews I can find, watched all the videos I could find and am now seeking the advice of anyone who'll offer it. I'm going to try and go ir for battles. If I could find a kit I'd be happier, but it's not a huge issue. So, what's the pro's, cons and *** ' s for the tanks I've mentioned?

Advanced thanks for the advice.

Armornut

Ps: anyone have experience with the Chinese 1/6 tank maker metal box? I'm looking at the Luchs they are producing, it looks amazing.
