With that said though... are you sure you wouldn't want to do a baby Howitzer variant

Hay Fynsdad
How did you make the rear ideller / road wheel.......?
I been toying with a honey for a while and could not see how to make the hull the correct width ...with h/l geraboxes ,....did you just make the hull wider or scale up the whole tank to be able to fit the boxes ?'...
I did look at tamiya / academy 1/25 boxes ,,.,.but waiting for my sorce in japan to come up with some ....

Hey fynsdad
...I gotta say...it's very rare to see something that looks like it will be speedy as well as fun.. when it's just standing still...not only does she look the part.. but it looks like she is really going to wango tango ...kind of gives me the urge to attempt one too
Thing is ... I know you make these things look so easy..and for a normal Human being... a task that might take years
You're just too dang good fynsdad...just glad I'm able to follow your work
Carpe Diem Sir

Geese fynsdad... you're just moving along with this one....I'm liking it a lot... I've always had a soft spot for Stuarts... growing up with memories of the "Haunted tank" this isn't the version... but it's PRIMO

Good Morning,
I agree, Sir, you are moving faster than this Scout tank yourself. I remember the Haunted tank and have the modern version of it in my collection o' comix. I'll need to go grab some older copies. Thanks for the reminder, Alpha. ;o)
regards,
Painless
