Hi PA, Its nice to see a battler raise his hand not to far of me. Im Guy in Trois-Rivieres.I have already build 2 tanks, one Panzer3 ( T50) and one KingTiger, both motorized and RC. Them and me never seen a battle, its cause by the distanceto travel to Maryland combine with the lack of days-off to do it. i would be happy to show you my tanks and talk of possible battling if youcan create a moving box of your own, just contact me.
