I did hear of these though it may have been a British used/proposed vehicle but like your self I don’t recall seeing anything other than trials
It’s your tank it’s what you make it

Hi Chaps,
Thx for the interest and encouragement.
Bit more done on the headlight frontal area to be able to make the headlight "buckets".

Hi Mr Bix,
Thx for your interest, and comments.
You are quite right, there is a lot going on, most of it support for the upper hull deck which is full of angles and triangular shapes......more than Pythagoras's note book
A few more pics, this time of the rear end, support for the rear upper part of the hull where it meets the top deck, plus some cross brace upper supports.

Hi.
Check fit of the gearbox's, as can be seen im using a spare set of low profile gearboxes, there is loads of space for them , my plan on using the low profile gearboxes is so i can put a removable deck section in above them to fit a rather large speaker box which will sit directly below where the rear engine cooling grills are located on the real thing.
