In the afternoon, the King Tiger, panther, and T34/85 joined in.

The designer of our club has come up with the club's logo. It's just a draft at this time. Kindly observe and give me inputs. Ignore the purple line :-) Thank you!

I like it

A local business owner in Huntington Beach is supporting our club today. He is the owner of Warnerdale Coin Laundry at the South East corner of Warner and Springdale. He agrees to pay for a tank destroyer and donates it to our club. On behalf of Irvine RC Tank Club, I would like to thank Warnerdale Coin Laundry for supporting our club.

Another member of our Irvine RC Tank Club donated his Tiger I to our tank's fleet today. I came to his house and picked it up this morning. He has a super nice collection of both 1/16 and 1/6. This tank is ready for battle.
BTW...he did not want to reveal his name, so I will just provide his initial. Thank you Mr. CC.

We were at the LA tank battle event today. The Irvine Club would like to thank Rubicon99 and SoCalBob for their generosities in contributing these items to our club.


From Rubicon99....HL IR shades for the new members to battle at our event.




From Bob...his Stug III for our young guest to easily maneuver in battle.

Our biz card file was sent to me yesterday. I will send it to the print shop tomorrow. Hopefully we will get them before our event on Saturday/

Today another local business owner paid for our second Jagdpanther that will be added into our fleet.

[DavidN]

The two Jagdpanthers were painted and weathered. They are now ready for battle this coming Sunday. They can be placed on either sides of the battlefield.

You are doing a great job of getting your club up and rolling

[DavidN]

We received a donation of 2 powerful new batteries today. They are perfect for the two new jagdpanthers that will be involved in the battle event this Sunday.

Just read the whole of this post. Or as the wife said,”looking at the pictures”. What a fantastic setup you have, and support you are getting. Just one question, well two really. Why do you not remove the markings from all the tank? I only say this as the organisation that runs a large marine battle over this side of the pond had to remove the British flags and markings as well as the German ones. They like you now just use the red force and an unnamed enemy.. Secondly are you considering modern tanks as they would be more relevant to younger people? Mind, I am biased towards modern tanks. Wished we had something over here like you have, but I am afraid people, here seem more interested in destroying or belittling any new ventures.
