Default What have I done???

Well I went and did it and ordered my second tank today from A.A.F . Another great place to order from,Karen is an easy person to talk to and very helpful.
I will now have a Tamiya King Tiger to add to my collection. So beware I will be picking the brains of all to help build a great running and battle tank!!
I,m sooooo exited The funny thing is I don't even have my first one in hand yet. That one should be here tomorrow.

That's what I'm afraid of.
Well I have no kids so I can spend it on my wife and me.

When you're wife thinks you have too many, just buy her a couple! Worked for me! Each of my kids has one of their own now too!

Congrats,

I very happy for you. I'm sure you will enjoy the KT. I'm glad you got it from Karen since she does so much to pomote the hobby at the museum. Just having all those parts at hand makes battling at Danville such a pleasure. There are so many varieties of camo for your KT. Which one do you want to use? We have some nice KTs at there. You must make the April Tank Extravaganza event. That will give you enough time to get that monster built. My NEAD club will be hosting the event jointly with HEAT from SC. We have many plans for tank battles and the real live fire action is a once in a lifetime experience to see, hear and feel (can you saw dual flamethrowers)....WOW. It would be great to have your KT make its debut there. Post some pix so we can follow your progress.

Bob, thecommandernj

Hi Ron,
Just as James was leaving a few years ago I put that apple atop his KT. We just kept piling more fruit and turned it into the Carmen Miranda tank.
Practice your painting on some cheap models first before your try your hand on your prize tanks. Bob
