1:6 scale American Tank Tour of Ardwell

[@JL999k]

I have never even thought about RC models but I've been randomly going through youtube channels and came across these videos. I can see how this would appeal. The attention to detail , the effects and making something that looks good and works. I might need to start a LOT smaller but looks like a new hobby might be heading my way. Have fun all

[@mikenoble9151]

Well done, you! I have been fascinated with tanks since I was a kid. I am now 73. I have built many model tanks. Built dioramas. But never got into RC models. These are impressive. One comment... I would have “distressed” them. Mud, dust, rust, etc. they look too new. Overall... kudos. Loved watching. Thanks!

[@Mouton1945]

AMAZING AND OUTSTANDING. LOVE YOUR WORK OF ART AND THE ROADS AND TOWNS for the tanks to cruise was spectacular.

[@rctanksrme]

No problem ask anything..!..The Tanks are not all mine,we are only a small group so are lucky enough to have few between us...the Tanks in this video where all Scratch built by 2 people,(the M48 by 1 and the chafee another)..I painted them and do the video/pictures.....Thanks for looking

[@DCogsdil]

AMAZING....such detail to the tanks and the men and the town....looked so REAL. I want one....Dear Santa....lol Great job.

[@rctanksrme]

The tracks where scratch built bu the tank builder Mr Ian Gallacher from Skelmersdale Lancashire..he made his own pattern based on the original shape,they are vacume braised in a furness,so are pretty mutch unbreakable....

[@1975acidburn]

I want an RC tank . These look really nice and seem to run great

[@sensaras]

Fantastic models, beautifully built. Congratulations!

[@rctanksrme]

the lad who made the tracks makes them from scratch,chops all the small pieces as required and puts and puts them all into a vacum furness to join them.alot of work involved,but the track are superb and will not break...thanks

[@Bas_van_der_Laan404]

9:41 beautiful details and it looks really nice and that sound that sounds really great nicely done

[@montwolfman]

Absolutely superb. A tip to the hat to you guys. If I was living in the town at 6 something and saw you comeing, I'd hop on my bicycle and start reaching for real estate with a vengence :-)

[@stevencouzens4863]

I've got a 1/16 scale tiger it's got sounds and smoke comes out of the exhaust pipes love taking it for a drive love your videos

[@paulchaplin73]

Currently building an Armortek Panzerjäger “Elefant” Can’t wait to get it up and running. Extremely slow progress with the build, but it will be worth it. Your tanks look superb! Nice details and paint! 👌🏻👌🏻

[@LerhChang]

Good tanks, diorama and film. I like them all. One thing to correct---General Chaffee is M24. M26 is General Pershing.

[@jessedm5073]

One of the best videos I've seen with the land scape and buildings. I didn't know these tanks were waterproof.

[@melissafreed5903]

Most of the time they aren’t as far as I know, you have to water proof them yourself

[@stevencouzens4863]

Yes they are waterproof I take mine through snow water great fun in the rc world

[@davidlees9096]

Every building bridges even the landscape is perfectly to scale with the butefall tanks fantastic must of took a lot of planning

[@billschipper1718]

When I was young I would of love to have a backyard and toys like this. Friends would never leave

[@likamero]

Nice one!!! People really know how to own and play with toys not forgetting to mention, making a video out of it!! Great work!!!

[@neroc1]

After watching your tanks , Id love to know what materials you use to build these, what motors/esc you use. What the tracks are made of. What type of suspension system you use. Absolutely full marks on your workmanship.

[@pzmkvg]

Great video, thanks. Love the panther sitting close.

[@JoelRevzen1]

With such a formidable force, how did the Americans lose in Vietnam?

[@rctanksrme]

These where all scratch built,one of my freinds built the M48's and another built the chafee....i do the painting.....!

[@AirsoftSickness1]

Amazing that you have the skill to make these good for you.

[@rctanksrme]

Thanks,yes all 1/6...all three scratch built by two members of our smal group

[@rctanksrme]

Yes i still have a Panther,the owner of the Chaffe had 2 x Armortek Panthers but sold them....look through my other video's and you will find it,,

[@famouswolf526]

I just seen this video so IDK if you guys have done this at night but that would be cool. Do the tanks have lights on them? Also even if they have lights on them, put some around the woods to give some low light, lume cubes would work good!

[@rctanksrme]

The builder requested a Playboy bunny when i was painting it........it was his personal choice and nothing else...thanks for looking

[@rctanksrme]

All these where Scratch built.....In general depending on condition anything from £1500:00 upwards..

[@LUCIUSMARCILUS]

super le décor et bon travail de reconstruction vers Guy job congratulation

[@affarabelli1281]

Cool stuff , I was waiting for one of those guys to hold up the peace sign. Nice job

[@rctanksrme]

Tanks where all scratch built,m48's by one member and chaffee by another..i was responsable for painting them......thanks

[@dakotakoch1643]

The tnks that you saw in the beginning was a Patton, and 2 M48A1 Patton lll's.

[@rctanksrme]

The place is Ardwell,south west Scotland in UK.yes it is Private but could be done anywhere,you only need a group of like minded people,have fun keep tanking

[@howardfortyfive9676]

..... *TANKS A LOT.....*

[@MountaintravelerEddie]

This is sooo cool, are those tracks metal or rubber synthetic? I wouldnt mind making one if I knew where to get one and make it shoot .17 HMR or .22 rimfire for my handicapped buddy so he can do some squirrel hunting. That would be so sweet.

[@actionoise]

Fantastic model, if you want to make control from remote just a video all can use an actionoise board, you can drive the tank without limit of distance

[@minhtranthong]

Very good video. All rc tanks is beautiful.

[@jonathanbolz2449]

I got to tell ya....my sphincter's just a tinglin-! ULTRA-NICE-WORK Dude-!!! I never much cared for the M-48 kind of like the 47 myself until now. May I please ask how the upper & lower hulls were fabricated, aluminum or resin castings-? Absolutely Beautiful work,detail(s) etc. and the field was very cool, we just need one of those "roll-out" garden screen things for the bus/auto traffic in the background. Cool Tanks dude-!!!

[@motobuddy19]

OUTSTANDING ! I Took Your advice, And Ordered A Used Tiger From Mark-1 ! He's A Great Guy ! If Not For You and Your Great Videos, My Wallet Would be A Lot Heavier ! It will Be Worth It , I'm sure Thanks again Keep Up The Good Work !

[@mauimikecurry]

AWSOME TANKS , FANTISTIC VIDEO , SOUND OF TANKS IS FIRST CLASS!!!!

[@agso73]

Nice RC tank, i like this your hobby.

[@rctanksrme]

My advice is to go with what you really like..!,Start with the tracks and drive sprockets,that is the most important part..

[@rctanksrme]

all the tank in the vid where scratch built,their is some manufactures of 1:6 rc tanks around..Do a Google search also look at ebay as there has been several comeing up for sale.

[@charlespullman5544]

Have you since built/added more? Tanks operate in squadrons of 9 or 10.

[@brucedent7072]

Nice vid'. The detailing is incredible!

[@genaroramos7816]

Beautiful work sounds great

[@kevinbrooks6265]

absolutely awesome,thanks for posting these vids!

[@krystalstarrett6760]

Mighty mini tanks, conquering side walks and water puddles. Cool man!😅

[@pattoncommander]

Totally wrong Dakota....the smaller is an M-24 Chaffee and the others are M-48A3s. There are so many differences, the M- 48A1 is almost another tank.

[@valkyone]

amazing scratch building... I wish I knew how to make those

[@rctanksrme]

We have Tigers as well on other video's,but not scratch built..

[@nikolasexelar2287]

totally awesome video i love those tanks

[@dohc1974]

These aren't electric are they? They sound sooo real! What are you using? Nitro?

[@大安汽車科周義國]

What a wonderful video.I love it.

[@Treetop64]

These are scratch-built? Amazing! And they sound great, even on video. Nice to see them get nice and dirty!

[@rolaren1205]

Do you or the builders of the tanks have any plans, patterns or parts available for these tanks that are available for purchase? How were the drive sprockets and track made? Thank you for your time and for posting these.

[@MrSay2801]

I want one... how much is it??.

[@rctanksrme]

they where all scratch built by 2 different people,i would say £3000-£5000 thousand each.

[@pattoncommander]

Great job guys....sound is very close...only thing not realistic is that the driver's would be open in this sort of running.. Tank builders must have been tankers.

[@weepweep2225]

Neil you stop building tanks with Mark? And very nice set up you have sir!! Just ordered a king tiger from mark 1!! So excited but have to be very patient hahaha 😏😏🙈

[@bencerami5898]

you should make a ww2 tv show with your figures I would watch it non stop

[@rctanksrme]

Hope you mentioned it was Neil Armstrong that put you onto him......i might need a favour off Mark in the future......please send me some pics when you have the Tank......Good luck,all the best..

[@russican94]

I'm a tanker in the Marine Corp I got to say this is amazing I want to start collecting these any help???

[@bengaarder2972]

Excellent work. Impressive.

[@andersarre4949]

Great video and sound!

[@DezRAT1990]

Nice detail....where did u get these kits?

[@oddball759mm]

Are the M48s available as a kit, or are they one off scratch builds? Either way they look great.

[@raoul1650]

Good to see you were loyal enough to get an m60

[@paperitgel98]

Alcibiades m48

[@howardfortyfive9676]

Amazing Feat of Excellence!!! Was lead tank M47? The crew looked like Vietnam troops. Scratch building Artist is what you are! Beautiful layout as well. Have you any amphib heavy hauler 8x8s? Tho not an RC buff have built 1/35th Tamiya mostly mainly WWII+Bradley M1 Abrams. Would love to see early model riveted Stuart Light Tank. Stuart is most favorite WWII tank. Universal Carriers, 6x6, Halftracks. Ever thought of building Sherman with Dragon breath? LOL Good Show old chap!

[@Boimans]

The lead tank is a M24 Chaffee en the other 2 are M48 patton

[@howardfortyfive9676]

When I was growing up I built models *mostly of WWII armor.* I still *have a Stuart Light Tank in **1:35**th scale I built in 1979. Like me it is beginning to show it's age.* Tamiya I think it is. Excellent models with wonderful detail *made in Japan.* Too bad Americans prefer cheap over well made. China builds crap and WM sells crap.* Very good reason right there to stay out of WM.

[@alexcollum6579]

So awesome! If possible I reckon you should do a more modern one with Abrams and t90s and stuff,but, that is just a suggestion

[@dbsimms63]

Could you provide s link too your build of these fantastic vehicles pleaser

[@elijah24567]

i like it how much is it cost?

[@Tuner010]

I am going to maybe start my own in the future which one should I start with?

[@mdluebeck]

Great job guys! At 5:05 I looked up and expected to see a huey!

[@CLparker68]

Very Nice mate are they all in 1/6 scale

[@envitech02]

It's fun to drive RC tanks into the mud. Always avoid dry ground.

[@HellzNord]

Those 1/6 M48's are fricken sweet! I totally need one or 20 of them...

[@aetsmbotas8820]

The tanks are an m24 light tank, then two M48 Patton tanks Wait it is in the description

[@NiagaraRCTanks]

I love the VC sitting on the back of the M48

[@howardfortyfive9676]

Loved the sound effects as well!! Motors sound like diesels.

[@sprintingwolf3860]

7:18 panther tank in the background on the left

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

Very cool, but I thought you shouldn’t go thru water with rc tanks?

[@rctanksrme]

Sorry the Chaffee was Scratch built by one our group,not sure what the sale price would be....

[@bestamerica]

' coool 3 R/C tanks... what size of motors on 3 R/C tanks

[@merusiraran9155]

素晴らしい出来だ！戦車の魅力でパワーを感じるね。ありがとう！！Thankyou.

[@Anthraxster1]

They look really good

[@motobuddy19]

How Much Land Do You Have At Ardwell ? Perfect Spot !

[@Mickamations]

You might as well build the full scale tank already

[@gerson2011manuel]

Uff genial felicidades por esos tanques tan hermosos ... saludos

[@RCPlayGround]

Awesome mud tank ~!

[@RAMDOG38]

This was totally awesome! Great Job!

[@rctanksrme]

both m48 where built by the same person and the chaffee built by another scratch builder.....

[@TV-pq3dv]

cool model!!what do you say about it what do you say about it

[@rctanksrme]

Sorry,the owner would not part with it for that.......the other two are Scratch built M48's

[@spankybrandonf]

wow, i love the detail put into building that town, where is this, is it private or a paid track

[@fnscar66]

dude, how much would u sell that chaffee for? I am willing to pay $800 because its used. that's all I have too btw. and the 2 bigger tanks, they look like M103s

[@rctanksrme]

The Tanks where only painted by myself,two others scratch built them..

[@danielschannel444]

need someone in a Godzilla costume lol Thank for sharing, very nice video, I like miniature stuff.

[@yaku_rc_family4936]

Wow very impressionnant !

[@DAndrewL1]

I had that same thought cross my mind...but the scale of the tanks seem to prevent it. Just by watching the video and seeing things in the background, any monster suit would need to be at least seven feet tall, if not more.

[@rctanksrme]

Thanks very mutch,it is very mutch a team effort...

[@markuskranz2530]

Hi there who is the manufacturer? Where can you buy these? I would be grateful for any information
