George:
Like you I had made a 1/24 Tamiya Chieftan back in 69/70 with the wire out the back.
It suffered with many explosions during battles with my 3 sons. (Fatal)
I make 1/16 now and have 8 or 9 but I bought a 1/24 Tamiya RC Chieftan just for fun but now I do not know what to do with it.
It is assembled and has a base coat of olive drab.
I suspect you want parts not an assembled unit.
I am close to you Fort Erie and coincidentally I am taking my son to McMaster Wednesday for 1:00 PM.
If you get involved in 1/16 RC tanks we have an RC tank Club in Fort Erie field ( We meet once a month here plus in between at other locations, Kitchener, Oshawa, Toronto.) (CAN/AM RC TANK CLUB)
In winter we do indoors at banquet halls in Kitchener.
We have members come from Windsor, Kitchener, Toronto, Oshawa,Welland, Hamilton etc.
If you are interested let me know.
