Hi all,

I finished my first RC project, the Tamiya full option M26 Pershing (scale: 1/16). Although already a nice kit OOTB I added a pretty large amount of details myself, like periscope guards, new springs for the loaders' hatch, stowage, details to the headlights and MG, workable engine hatches, stowage racks, handles and much more.

I am working on an article, probably also in English

Here's a first pic, more to follow:

Howdy Martinnn. Very cool. Could you post a photo with a common size object in the picture with the tank so we can better judge its size. I like the extras you have added. Out here.

Yeah well watch your wallet, cause once you've bought one....a second tank will soon also be on your workbench....and a third....etc etc

I already got myself a Sherman (an old one which needs to be "restored") and I've got plans for a full option, new Sherman this summer....
