Good Morning,
That will be very cool to see and close enough for the builder should always be all that is required. ;o)

..Did you not see the votes
...I liked the scratch built idea ...but Mato is coming out with a metal version...the Persherman is a cool variant... but since you will be running with Dragon... the best bet would be the 75
See ...simple process of elimination
...just kidding fynsdad... you have to be happy with it..so take your time... and hurry up

Hi Nice build Frank ,which type of gearboxes are you using to get the right width(always a problem with smaller types)Or are you going with standard gearboxes and trimming as much as possible to get as close as you can to correct width(like you did with the High speed tractor which was a great build you couldn't tell it was a little wide even the guy who owned a real one didn't spot it).

the 'boxes are just HL ones.
...Alpha, I'm going for a M5 (unskirted
) and I made the spoked wheels, I just attacked the std HL ones with my Dremel
Are you sure about the skirts
just kidding fynsdad... she'll look sexier with her legs showing
With that said though... are you sure you wouldn't want to do a baby Howitzer variant
Carpe Diem Frank
