EASY PART now to rea arrange the height of the sprocket was easy .i..its needs to be moved up to line up with the return rollers and track much like the m48 / 60 series of tanks ...hmmm ? i also changed the standard pershing gerboxes for low profile form a tiger 1

That's going to be one mean-looking tank, this looks like a really interesting build and I will be following along with great interest. :thumbup: Alwyn

I got to applaud you for the idea & dedication to boldly go where others fear to tread(or track)
That turret is without doubt going to raise your blood pressure & your booze intake :haha:
In fact, I'm going to pour a glass of sedative now to just watch you do it :thumbup:

Hi all

Very quick up date

New turret ring almost 1/2 as big again as the m26 new hull front plate as it a different angle when I make that ....loads to do not enough time !
