Great subject for a build! super cool cab and design for 1940's. All you need a Jagdtiger and all set.....

This vehicle actually had large tires so something like a 60-70mm crawler military tire and metal wheel set may work well. Small 1/10 scale or maybe 1/14 scale crawler tires.. one below in link is ~100mm and probably too big...

Plenty of crawler axles in small size or easy to make for a trailer.

Thank you! Suspension works, ramps will be automated at some point.

It’s all Aluminium so fairly heavy and very strong.

Tyres to come btw...

Small update, some stunning 3D parts on the way from Alwyn.

New wheels and tyres sorted for the trailer.

Got some plastic work on the trailer to do but the end is in sight.

Done a bit more on the trailer last couple of evenings, side panels and steps and the bumps on the ramps.
