...and if you run out of ammo you just do a 180 deg. turn and roast your enemy!  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

The term "Scorged Earth Tactics" springs to mind, somehow...
Looks very promising indeed!

Jet powered - as in the jet propels the vehicle forward or gas-turbine powered where the jet engine is coupled to the tracks via a gearbox?

If its the former, its going to move very slowly.   If its the latter it would be quite sprightly, if short-ranged.   Either way, with those exhausts it's going to have massive dust clouds behind it, as well as a trail of fire as it set alights to everything it drives past.

Very nice :thumbsup:
Lovely camouflage too.
One question, why are the extra side amour plating cut down in the middle there?

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

Well the side amour plating is cut down in the middle because of the commander periscopes,two on each side.

you wouldnt want any friendly panzer grenadiers or volksturm trying to hide behind it for cover, even with the turbines at idle....................
