My small but growing motor pool:

One 1/16 scale Tamiya King Tiger (old school with clutch) I know copy cat...
One 1/16 scale Tamiya Sherman kit 56005. This is just the 2 channel...love those metal tracks.

I'm just a fireman that's always loved R/C vehicles...still looking to ad a Tiger I to my motor pool.

All the Tamiya 1/16 full option kits except the King Tiger. Before Tamiya offered the full option King Tiger, I had converted a Porsche turreted King Tiger to full option. Good thing Tamiya at least chose to make the Henschel turret model their full option offering, otherwise my efforts would have been for naught! Well, you can check them all out including videos for most at [link=http://www.rcgrabbag.com]www.rcgrabbag.com[/link].

I wANT PICS OF YOUR 1/3 tIGER....I WANT ONE TOO.... ;)

RE: What is in your Motor Pool?
 

The begining of a 1/6 scratch build British Comet...
For paintball fighting of course...
If I knew more about computers I would post a pic of the turret beginings...

I got into R/C cars years ago and gravitated to 1/4 scale cars when they first appeared on the scene...Did that for a few years and then got out of hobby...The r/c combat tanks have rekindled the interest...and the challenge of building added to it...
