A shout out to AAF Tank Museum
I will see Karen tomorrow at the Fun Run, so I'll be sure she sees your nice note.
Truely one of the best advocates around.
Thank you Redmike, yellowshaker, Dana, Onondaga, heavyaslead, & borabora22 for all the kind words concerning our customer service. We appreciate our customers and go out of our way to give them the best we can. Plus RC Tankers Rock!
Borabora, we got started selling Tamiya kits and parts after we built the battlefield with the help of many RC Tankers. We felt that the battlefield would be a win/win for both the local tankers and a great draw for museum visitors. After the first few months we had many tankers join the battlefield with some coming a long way to have fun. But it is not fun after driving 4 to 8 hours and get your tank on the field just to have something break right from the start ( does not make for a happy tanker), so that is when we started carrying the parts. At that point there was only the <place><city>Sherman</city></place>, M26 Pershing, Tiger and King Tiger out so the most breakable parts I stocked for the RC tankers on the field (recoil units, gear boxes, tracks, elevation etc.). Many of the local RC tankers let it be known that we carry the parts and we started to see outside orders. We set up our website PX gift shop and the rest is history – as more kits became available we would stock them and their parts and it got to the point where we now have a 12’ X 14’ peg board room set aside just for the RC kit parts and it is tight so we may be expanding again.
We stock many Tamiya (1/35<sup>th</sup>) military models, some VS tanks (1/24<sup>th</sup>) and we are looking at stocking the 1/35<sup>th</sup> RC Tamiya tanks as we have had many inquiries about them. All the profits from sales go directly into the support of the museum.
Thank you again for the kind words and support; Preserving the Memories for present and future generations.
Keep on Tankin
Karen, Natasha and the Museum Crew
