Nice....I think you have the hatches wrong though, How would they open?

From what I have read, the e-50 and e-75 were supose to be rear wheel drive but still use most of the king tiger jigs to make it easier to produce. As you may or may not Know, i kinda built one of these out of hl king tiger. If I was doing it from scratch like you are, I would move the turret forward and change the the rear deck for rear wheel drive.....I would also make it so the suspension swing arms would swing away from each other. Like they were supose to on the boggies.

keep up the good work chris.

hi mustclime

thank you

dam thats a good point, i m not sure why im put it like that ?! maybe i have seen a drawing, just chacked but i didn t find anything lol.

i overing just the option to mount the frontdrive, sure you will be able to put a rear weel drive too. About the trurret mounting i have nothing found about how the turret would be placed and how the motordeck should looks like if the drive and engine is at the rear. you are right implementing reardrive should change the houle tank layout.

The suspension like the original will come :-) at the moment it is just the basic hull were everyone can dicide which suspension he want to use, HL, Tamiya or something spezial .
