How is it going with search for wheels and tracks. I just picked up yet another armortek late tiger kit with motion pack sound smoker blank firer rc gear batteries for £2200. I think you might end up spending more on your project. The huk structure is simple but wheels and sprockets can be expencive. If you advertise on sites like armortek you might pick up some un wanted parts.

Are you thinking early or late. I got a full spare set of tracks for my late tiger for 400 euro. I think you can get the early mid old version tracks for about £200. Possible to get the sprockets also. I can post an add for you whenever you want.

Don't know if you have seen this site for scratch building a 1/6th Cromwell but it might help you plan your build.
