Looks like you had a great day out, its good to see some models running and I agree that the KT is one impressive model. No rain? I wish I could say the same down here in the south east, yet another wet day!! it looks as if you've found a good venue also.

Thanks for the comments Allan & Bob :wink:

You're right the KT & the Tiger both have superb paint jobs and detailing :D and yes it's a great place to run the tanks as long as you miss the odd dog mine :roll:

Another video taken today from under the barrel of my Panther:



Thanks Antony

See you all soon

Dunc
