Karlsruhe 2012

Before Easter I attended a model show with RAG at Karlsruhe, this was a most enjoyable 3 days, the event covered 3 large halls and was solely for RC models of all scales and types be it trucks and tractors or ships and tugs or planes and helicopter’s all were there and all had their own shows to perform throughout the day, the event organisers not only supplied the dirt to run the tanks on though this was more like gravel and caused a few problems with some of the models though only the Stuart suffered from a broken track, they also supplied the sound system the club also had it’s own room to store kit and brew coffee




Amy the jeep had it first outing and performed very well just requiring a few minor tweaks, the club had all scales covered from 1/16 up to 1/6 there was a number of extremely well built scratch builds there this also included building their own axles and gearboxes most impressing, the majority of the large stuff was 1/8 scale and included Panzerhaubitze 2000 this was also built in 1/16, you will also notice a few bridge layers and mine flails all these work to perfection again in 1/8 and 1/16, for the dolly lovers we also managed a small diorama in-between shows





























One of the members builds trucks and just happens to make wheels for the jeep these include the hub and a soft compound tyre there not cheap but will work much better than the rock hard Dragon Tyres

Very nice! Thanks for the post.

Wow. Thank you for sharing, I can only dream

Cheers

very neat rc show, was more then adequate to be there ... a pitty we weren't there maybe next year ... w'll see

seen any brands with new products there mark?

very nice........

Karl, all the new stuff will be at Dortmund next week as soon as I back I will post the pictures and any new information, the only stuff that may interest you chaps is all the 1/16 Leopard conversions and Sechs-Rad AFV .
I’m surprised no one asked about the Abram’s, this is probably why Tamiya have never bothered

some great pics Rivet looks like a great show

some really nice builds

Some of the RAG lads will be at Bovington for the tank fest this year demonstrating some of this kit, if you and the RCTR lads are about come and have a chat

Theres plans for something to do at tankfest so we are hoping to go if only for a day

would be great to catch up with you again the last time was norfolk

I would have been 2010 that was the last event I did in England.
