Morning everyone. This machine is for a buisiness and I must admit I would'nt do this for myself, I prefer the original. A vickers would look good but I have an original Vickers light tank here to do up and that will be a lot more of a challenge. At this stage I have'nt given much thought at the top section but all Idea's are good ones.
Colin.

Awesome Colin, love projects like this. Shame you can't squeeze another Bogie assembly and wheel in there. Self propelled gun type could look the part or check out the NZ built Schofield tank. That had a turret in proportion with the size of the vehicle and was armed with Australian 2 pounder. anyway enjoy your posts. Cheers David.

Hi Dave, you're right about another set of bogies. He really wants 2 of these and If I do the other one I would build from scratch. That way I could fit 2 pair of bogies like the T16. I must admit that I'm really enjoying having the thinking cap on instead of building an example. I'll keep the pics coming.
Colin.

I've always liked these little tankettes from skoda.
They remind me of a little Stug, and are about the size of a carrier. Pics from here: http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/

Vickers Replica
I have done the measure up on fitting double bogies to a un-lengthened hull Colin, you can run double bogies on an un-extended carrier hull, you just need to remount the cross tube. I had double bogies on my Vickers replica before the project was abandoned. Can still have track warping for a little additional fabrication. I gave up on the Vickers replica due to the poor state of the hull I was working with....it was not worth repairing.

Oh and I'll let you guy's work out what it will be. I can't say what type of buisiness my client has as that's his private concern. Dave, any one is welcome at my place anytime and you don't have to bring any tools. I've got enough for any visitors and plenty of room.
Colin.
