My 1/6th MkII Carrier a WIP

Update:
Well the work continues, Here I have added the rear sprockets and gearboxes. The gearboxes are barely noticeable. I'll be adding extensions to the back side of the sprockets to give them the width. Here are the latest pics with the gearboxes and sprockets added to the hull

What is the clearance between the bottom of the carrier's hull and the ground on the real MkII carriers? Thank you in advance.... Harold

Harold, what a great job you are doing (although obsessive comes to mind). ;o)

well not obsessive just trying to not have too much for the "nit pickers" to chew about... lol

Just measured mine in the middle Harold. 11" so I guess you are looking for about 1.83" give or take. Ron

I did a google search on the specifications of the carriers and get several different clearance measurments from 8" to 11" what you posted Ron so maybe I should divide the difference and go with something in the middle. Here's one reference link I found if it's of any interest to anyone... http://www.wwiiequipment.com/index.p...iers&Itemid=55

Harold I measured from the hull floor to ground as you asked. The 8" ground clearance thing would be from any other protrubrance, like the diff or exhaust etc. Ron
