Awesome stuff, Woz!  I really need to get around to getting my 1/16 RC King Tiger (the one that had parts get thrown out by accident when the junk removers mistakenly raided my modeling table prior to my moving) finished off and take it for a spin around my new neighborhood... |

Nice tanks!! What brand are they? heng long? Or the expensive tamiya's.
I have a heng long jagdpanther myself. In the late war colours. I didn't painted it myself though, it's the color they sell them in.

HengLongs except the T-34 which is a WSN.
Also building a PzIII N, Tiger II, Su-76i and started scratch building a Jagdpanther some years ago but put it on hold when Tam and HL brought theirs out.

I got a cheap tiger but the tracks keep slipping off so it only turns left  |

I've had the same problem with my heng long jagdpanther. I fixed it by removing a track link, makig the tracks a nice tight fit around the wheels.
Problem was that when the suspension went in, the track went loose.
I like that little tank, i can abuse it as much asi want, it keeps going.
Also shooting BB's at my wifes ankles amuses me. My wife thinks otherwise...

The red seems just a touch too bold for some reason. I thought the scheme traditionally used more of a dull, reddish brown shade. Were you working from a reference pic?
Reds

On some tanks they just left the red iron oxide undercoat showing instead of using brown. Sometimes due to a shortage of paint and also by missing a colour (brown) it meant the tank could be painted faster. |

At a local hobby store the other week I saw 1/16th RC kits for the Tiger I and the Jagdpanther, and they were not unreasonably priced. Once I'm working again, I think my Tamiya 1/16th RC King Tiger may be having to get some siblings. |
