RC Tanks Australia Forum

Hi all
The Australian War Memorial is having an open day on Sat 6th April as part of Canberra's 100 year festivities, 10,000 vistitors last time in 2007.

Panzergruppe South will be holding a display at the open day  With about 20 + tanks and a 1/6 Panther, will be a static display and An area for IR battle as well as Leo's Tank Walk, so we should keep the crowd entertained all day as well as ourselves.

Hi All
Yep a great day out, we just drove tanks all day until batts went flat.
huge crowd, more than 15,000 visitors. Many thanks to the PGS team, 6 of us attended, a great team effort in setting up and dismantling and driving/showing the tanks through the day. Many thanks to Damo who carted our gear in his ute (wouldn't fit on Biff's Harley). We had 28 tanks and good to see Ross's 1:6 Panther (WIP) and Brian's 1:9 Abrams there, though the 1:16 tanks stole the show running around on the ground and the Tank Walk just had the crowds, at times up to 4 deep right round our tent and demo area. The ground proved a test for the tanks with various adjustments and repairs being carried out through the day. It was non stop driving the tanks for the crowd and it wasn't long before we had to sit LOL...
Many thanks again to the PGS team and the AWM for having us attending their event
