Hi Colin.
I am intrigued by those cupolas. Can’t help but think they would put quite a strain on the turret ring when the vehicle was not on level ground.
If the cupola is mounted off centre and the tank is at a high angle position, I would think the weight of the cupola would want to swing the entire turret until the cupola was at the low point.
Maybe that is why modern tank turrets are so symmetrical.
Beautiful work, by the way. Can’t wait to see the first one under its own power. Will you be at the controls???
