Anyone have theirs and... anyone want to post pictures!!
Here in the colonies... it will be a bit longer. And since I am up to my you-know-what in pre-Cambrian reptiles... I can wait.
But who's got theirs?
Cheers,

Yup! Got mine this morning via UPS. Man on van adjusted his truss before lifting.
Bonus brownie points to Armortek for packing with compostable foam bits - but due to the gale blowing on my Northumbrian hilltop the stuff now extends over several neighbouring parishes.
Had a quick ferret through the bags and it all looks so much better than my previous kit - one of the very earliest Tiger 1s from the original company at the turn of the century.
Spent a happy hour or so exploring the springs and basic chassis bits.
The electronics and whatnot arrive later.
Mildly surprised that the RC hand unit is not in with the other electronics but no doubt someone will guide my hand about what to buy.
Now I've got two models on the go - the other is a 2m PT boat scratch built from ply.

Oh... I SOOOOO want to do a PT boat. 2 Meter... Holy shnikes!!! That's bigger than anything in the French Navy!
Congrats on a very, very cool project!
I understand my kits are inbound! Very excited!

There's a hidden agenda behind the PT boat Robert. I'm having to prove to my son who is a chartered engineer with a Masters in marine architecture that I can do such a thing before he'll let me have a go at something like this: https://www.facebook.com/TerraGrafSpee/

I am not worthy....
That would be incredible!
