                        The paint is nontoxic.....It's the seven pints of Guiness I consume while waiting for it to dry that lead to this.Blush [:I]

                        Sherm, there's something wrong with the ratio here. There should be at least 5 M4's knocked down for that Tiger 1 to go down. LOL.

                        Not bad guys. I think we all ought to get out more.

                        That said, you have happened on the reason I only build German armour. Can't afford potential damage to my house.

                        I don't remember 'hide behind the compressor' being an Allied Armor Tactic. I thought they just sent so many ducks that the Tigers got confused and didn't see the plane.

                        Allied tactics were terrible we just had more. We were lucky. As for the R/C stuff cool.

                        I guess the Kubel full of batteries didn't make it up in time. I KNOW I don't build Typhoons so it couldn't have been one of them. Did we just solve the Wittmann demise question?

                        It's my own fault for conducting two builds simultaneously, especially Radio Controlled. I was waiting for the Tiger's paint to cure while working on the M4's suspension. I knew I should have disconnected the batteries, but was tired and lazy.
                        This morning I open the shop door and it looks like things got pretty rough last night....

                        There's a dent in the Tiger's front plate and the batteries are dead (typical!), but the M4's had it. Looks like it took a hit in the turret ring as it was trying to take cover behind the compressor.
                        I would have thought that the difference in scale would have worked to the Sherman's advantage but apparently even it's 1/16 armor is too thin for a 1/35 88.
                        Well I guess I have to salvage what I can and call Tamiya for parts on Monday.
