you gonna keep the dremal tool collet muzzle on the sponsoon gun?
Heck yeah ;) Looks cool don't it :thumbsup:
Jacques there are aftermarket suspension kits available for tanks. My other suggestion would be just to rip the lower bits off a Sherman and start you som puttying :wacko:
By the way Dragon is having a buy one get one half price sale and there are several Shermans on there.

You never lack for guts, Ron! That's a Texas-sized amount of putty to be broke there, pardner!

I bet this baby has lots of horsepower...could use a few more guns though. Maybe a six-shooter even.

You've already got me loco for your next update!

This will be powered by a 10 cylinder diesel of 600 to 800 HP depending on model. Early models will have bad slick tracks and a 600 HP engine .Later models are equipped with turbochargers and better ,wider tracks with better traction .

V or Flat-10? Either would be extremely unusual for the period and, also, a period 600HP - 800HP engine would be quite large.
The GM 6064 diesel (two 6-71s mounted side-by-side) used in the later M3s was around 420HP.

Or were you thinking of something along the lines of the Junkers opposed-piston two-stroke engines?
The Jumo 4/204 produced 740hp.

Perhaps I misspoke.  :o :rolleyes: Maybe they are large bore, high displacement , 6 or 8 cylinder diesels :blink:  You must remember you are dealling with Toolslinger Engine Works :thumbsup:. The RoT has been in possession of and mining in both old and new Mexico as well as Texas for a long time so they have huge diesel powered mining tractors and trucks :thumbsup: ;D

For what it's worth, the drive train components of my "alt-WW2" designs are a few years more advanced than they probably should be. Honestly, it's a Whif; juxtaposition and anachronism are the order of the day! I wouldn't worry too much about whether the engine sotoolslinger envisions is completely accurate to the real-world time period.
Some clever and amusing quote goes here.
