My only little nit-pick... You appear to have missed the opportunity to put extra guns in the wings! ;)

I have only one thing to add: "You are THE MASTER!!" Believable back story and truly excellent build. I wholeheartedly endorse the praiseworthy comments of everyone else.

Thanks everyone, your response is overwhelming, just glad you like it, The reason there are no guns in the wings is , the Gloster designers felt more impact would be given, by concentrating the guns in the nose.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I love it!  A concept that probably would have worked.  Great job!!

I liked the concept and execution (though I would have preferred twin 40mm cannon in the fuselage instead of four 20mm--I know, I know, that's what the Tiffies were so successful with).
My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!

I must admit I was very tempted to fit a 6pdr Molins, it would have been devastating to armour firing APDS.

Excellent!

The real world Reaper had the option of extra guns in a modified  slipper tank.
