ModellerMick Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi All I have recently got back into static modeling after about 30 years on r/c. My current r/c model is a 1/6th scale Mid Tiger number 217 of 2nd Company sPzAbt. 502, Otto Carius’s tank. I have done as much as I intend on this model, so with LOTS of spare time on my hands, I’m currently working on a 1/35th Tamiya Char 1b bis, with a Fields of Glory diorama base. Next is the Tamiya’s 1/35 Tiger 217 in winter camo with precision ice and snow effects. Originally got this as a reference model 15 years ago!

Matt White Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi Mick welcome aboard. Newbie here too. Do you need a firearms license for that tank? 😲 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModellerMick Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Actually, it originally had a 12 gauge shotgun blank firer, but so many shows ban pyrotechnics, that it became pointless, so it was removed. Also the blanks produced loads of corrosive cordite in the turret, which wasn’t too good considering it is all metal. I have always liked the Char B1 bis, so that’s my first new model. I’ll post in the AFV section soon. Cheers Mick Edited December 4, 2018 by ModellerMick Spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
