Yep the spoiler from the T14 thread is the M6a1


I currently working on the hull,the final tank will have compatibily with the cannon smoke unit and the engine smoke.

The M6a1 has the early hvss suspension , I counted almost 100 link for one track ( be prepare to print 200 link ).





Next step the double cannon turret

Update
Almost finished hull, with interior designed to accomodate a heng long 7.1 , a 6500 mah battery , a speaker , 2 smoke generator ( one for the engine smoke the other for cannon smoke)



Almost 100 link per track


I'm planning to add the possibilty for the Mg led , I added the rearlight with a 2 red 3mm led

Yes, I am one among probably many watching with admiration. That turret drive ring looks seriously heavy to stand up to use. I see only one set of gears in the bottom photo, but I suspect that's just to make mounting points clearer.

The turret ring is from the Firefly , i'll try to minimize the weight of the turret.

Finished

It's time to print it with ASA

Double cannon

Update on the M6a1 , the tank is finished with all the eletronics inside ,it's ready to be painted.

Next post with photos of the painted tank before the weathering process
The T14 is painted and waiting the matt varnish


Big spoiler I'm working on US ww2 ARV

Can't wait for the pictures. The T14 came out great (still waiting on paint and weathering pictures). Really excited to see what ARV you've decided on.

Your design and printing abilities continue to inspire me. Your Jumbo and Firefly came out wonderful.

Should be a wonderful addition to the obscure tank collection.
