Many of you dudes are using hearsay to slam Tom's reputation for the dumbest of reasons and that is WRONG.

I said Tom has a Ph.D level interest in WWII history.

And in 9 years I have never seen a high quality, full option DMD, built, RTR with zimmerit, great paint – weathered Imai Elephant on ebay and neither has anyone else!

And if you are not blind; all his models speak for themselves: they are all really good!

As to our friend Tom's business tactics, he is just a Chinese enigma!

He works it just like a perfectly trained ALL AMERICAN USED CAR SALESMAN and what is wrong with that?

Seems to me it is the same thing as whatever it is all you guys try everyday: he is not any better or any worse and this is a non-issue for me.

And he has tried all that wheeling and dealing with me too and I just roar with laughter.

The Tom I know is happily married, raising a family and a solid Christian family at that, which makes all the other stuff you guys bash him about seem petty by comparison.

He is a master modeler and some of you guys don't like that fact, I guess.

And for those dudes, why not show us what you got by posting your tank images, instead of negatively critiquing Tom's models?

Thought so!

And Tom's rc tank builds do earn him solid acclaim from Tamiya and others and he does sell them and has for awhile to a group of loyal collectors.

So, lastly, did you get your $500.00 Enzo yet, comrade dreamer? And yes I'll defend a guy who seems to have been slammed in the past because of, well, mean, sorry reasons such as, his national origin and worse the type of car he drove. I also read that East Coast and British diatribes. Really now people, it is all driven by envy over the quality of his rc tank builds, by people without talent or skill.

Tom ain't a perfect guy, but he is a good guy and a proven master rc tank modeler.

And to the guy who does medical missions to other countries, good for you and shame on you for posting your trash here. You should be better than that.

With Kindest Regards,

John
