Hello Tanker,
the print files are from Cults.
There are some things that are not consistent and should be improved.
First the cannon barrel, the diameter at the end is too small.
In addition, a model with such a long barrel is difficult to transport, so the barrel should be divisible:

Due to the larger diameter, the barrel no longer fits into the recoil and the guide is too short.
This is too unstable anyway and leads to a wobbly barrel:

The motor deck needs moore details:

The rear hooks are also incorrect, as well as redrawing:

And if we're going to redraw everything anyway, we might as well redraw the barrel fixture as well:

The 3D printer has a lot to do, with an estimated printing time of around 80 hours for all the parts. But I also print everything in high resolution and detail.
The track-links are currently being printed, 70 pieces fit on the printer.... 3 passes are necessary:

Test fit:

- Comqueror 05042024-003.jpg (80.84 KiB) Viewed 1161 times
That's it for today.
Thanks for watching

These tracks look very similar to KV-1 tracks. Maybe it could be used?

The track links are printed from PETG and are very strong.
Other tracks require the sprockets to be adapted.

Holy-Moley what a whopper.
You have aced this one Mr Jhamm, outstanding work.
Could you do us all a favour and take a pic of it next to something we all can scale against, like a Tiger, Sherman or King Tiger for example!
Or going by the size of it, perhaps a Centurion or Abrams!!!!

A good idea Hermann the Centurion seems like the best comparison because they both served at the same time.

Herr Hamm: you continually create remarkable models. I did not even know that the Conqueror ever existed, so now I have more about which to learn. While there is so much to praise about your model, I will pick just one: I like the "Petrol" indicator relief cast into the fuel filler cover.

Nice build. The Conqueror is on my list of tanks I'd like to build one day.
