Re: Anyone have any build ideas?
If you go to "Tank Encyclopedia" as suggested by Mick you will see 14 variants of the M3 Half-Track, and there was at least one build of a howitzer conversion on the Forum which the search panel on the top of this page might reveal.
I think I am about to upset someone

Re: Anyone have any build ideas?
If you intend to really detail your AEC build the first thing to do is arrange an eye test
They are quite small in 1/16,
As to control boards the IBU2 will probably be too big, the Clark board is the same size as the Heng Long rx18 series that includes the Taigen control board the difference being that CLARKs TK22 is programmable.
As to tyres there are a number of dealers selling them in various sizes and if you don't want to print your own you could ask one of the members of this forum to help.

oh ok thank you for the info, i will most likley go with a tk22 as i need it to be programmable for the controls i would like.
Re: Anyone have any build ideas?
The AEC is not a whole lot smaller than a Sherman. The biggest issue is likely going to be the width of the axles being greater than the available WPL/JJRC ones. If you can mount the motor up high like in the WPL trucks it should be possible to fit the clark board in below it. Finding a home for batteries and the turret traverse will be interesting, but not impossible.jarndice wrote:If you intend to really detail your AEC build the first thing to do is arrange an eye test

Have you seen the postage, 33 quid and that's in Europe, not in the states like their profile suggestsmidlife306 wrote:Just in case you’ve not seen this...

After paying out some rather exorbitant postal costs lately, I'm feeling a little off. Plus we can get a whole tank shipped for less lol.midlife306 wrote:I didn’t know you were an honorary Yorkshire man Mick lol
