Clear skies. cool temps. Perfect. We continue to find new people and get return visits from members past. Some tanks changed hanDs and I finally needed to change a set of tamiya track on a sherman after 5 years. We also witnessed spectacular paint jobs, strategic blunders, and an panther Idler snapped clean off! These events are never dull!. Oh yeah, got to run a mato sherman. Not bad for your typical airsoft toy!
