Jon there is no room for a gunner because of the center position of the merc v8.You can still go in the turret but not from inside.Your setup is better because you mounted the engine on the side.As for access that is the only way to get t the engine.

Default Too bad about the gunner....

A working turret would make it better but from a distance it still looks good.
What are you going to do with it now?

Default I would keep it for a little while.

Keep it and make a few shows and parade it around a bit to get some feedback. You never know who might see it and offer you some money for it.
It is a really interesting idea and might even be something a prop company would look at buying.... you never know. Unlikely to find somebody on this site. I would think it would appeal to a few different sorts of people, the weekend play in the mud guy, air-soft or possibly a reenacting group looking for a "German" tank. They could even say it was captured early in the war! Put a gas gun in the turret and bang away.

And you are correct but I have not yet had the ambition to turn them around as I have to also exchange them from right to left at the same time!
