Nice thread.

I've always loved WW2 planes and also been amazed by some of the RC planes i have seen. I fear my skills and free time are not enough to warrant purchasing one though.

Whilst EBAYING my beloved Hawker Hurricane today though (yes im sad i know!) i came across this little beauty, which needless to say got my imagination going in to over drive.

Do i? Dont i?

Hmmmm

Go for it Foz! We only live once

That does look amazing. The 4th photo of it in flight looks like the real deal

Little WildBoar's toys on the work bench for Daddy WildBoar to repair again !!

1/16th scale Tiger 1 and Jagdpanther ,as purchased , unpainted, fully working BB gun , turret rotation/ barrel elavation, engine sound module , smoking exhausts , metal tracks & gear box




After a trip through a local park when the Tiger 1 broke rear axle off due to mud compacting.......it was rebuild time over the winter.....what started off as a few new parts ended up with a full rebuild with high quality German parts and a replica paint job.....( sSS-PzAbt.101 3Kommpanie Italy 1944)

Those are sweet Boar. I was going to get a BB Heng Long Tiger but 1/16 is a touch too big. The Panz IV is 1/24 with infrared battle system. There is a PAK gun emplacement also in the sale for £15 which has scanner to detect tanks and fires on them when they get in range. Going to pick up one of those then another tank at some point for battling!

What make are those you have there?

They are Heng Long.......Tamiya cost 10x as much !!.......BEWARE......this hobbie will eat money once you get into it.........

The Tiger 1 has more parts to convert it into mid-production model.......and a Normandy paint job for the winter.......

The Jagdpanther.......(ok I admit , this one is mine ! ) .......will get a new paint job......upgraded parts and motors........

Great way to have fun with the kids.......the upgraded battery packs will let them run for about a mile & half !!!


Enjoy dkwookie ..........you will get hooked !

I just ordered the PAK 40 anti tank gun. That was on sale half price for £15.
The King Tiger looks like a beast so I reckon it's that next. That Jag is lovely Boar. We need a forum tank battle meet up

Never really been all that into tanks, However those little RC tanks look great, tidy little machines. Loving the M270, might just invest in one of these
