Charlie Foxtrot
Marksman
Hello! My user name has my initials, in phonetic alphabet. It is also a military joke. I have been a member of the U.S. Army. I was a tank platoon leader. I also spent time at the Patton Museum as a volunteer.
In the combination of those, I have ridden and or driven many different military vehicles, to include the M-3 Stuart, M-4 Sherman, M-26, T-95, M-41, M-48, M-551, M-60, M-1, M-113, M-2/3, Leopard I, Hetzer, T-34, T-55, T-62, MTLB, BMP-3, Centurion, Chieftain, M-3 scout car, kettenkrad, and many other different and interesting vehicles. I was usually too busy to take pictures. I was fortunate to visit many battlefields in Ukraine, Poland, Italy, France, Belgium, and Germany. As a youngster I grew up in Bad Tolz, Germany.
I have recently become involved in this hobby, which it probably the most demanding modeling. in 1/285th and 72nd scale, you don't need to do as much.
I will be looking for help as I try and model vehicles and soldiers from the
10th Mountain Division, US; 45th Infantry Division, US; Brazilian 1st Division; Hermann Goring Division in Italy; and other units involved in the Italian Campaign.
