Maybe fill the back with fake stores so the motors etc go underneath?

Yup that's how I did the 1/16 version. The 1/6 version won't need to lose so much space hopefully. I think the transmission used by 50koruny on his hetzer may provide a good approach on this build.

How about printing the entire thing Alwyn?

Thanks Wayne, it's very early days and this was all sparked by Markylee asking if I could do the suspension parts. I don't want to steal his project but must admit since building my 1/16 version I have been tempted by doing a 1/6 version. His suggestion of using jagdpanther tracks just sparked my interest and I really want to help him do his project first, and maybe follow up with my own later and perhaps sell a wheel/suspension kit to anyone interested. Of course all this will have to wait until after I've delivered the mk13 centurion and been on holiday.

Indeed, I only wish that he'd added some more of his Tank-related amazing insights post 2013, or so. Still, much of what he writes remains valid and educational :thumbup:
