I became a big fan of the german light tanks .
So i catch a old Airfix kit and make some changes on it ...

I changed the wheels into BIG chains from a 1:48 tank , made some simple axes from old sprues .

Well those tracks will sort out any ground pressure issues 

Very interesting take on a classic kit.

And more wheels on,  and i got a pretty gun pod for the top !

With that drive sprocket you won't need tracks! I say drive sprocket and engine in the rear.

But the angle of the top side ,,, I need to place the gun there , forward , plus  drive wheel is 1mm up .

I have such a sweeeeeeeeeeet little gunpod made for it

Those look like M4 easy eight drive sprockets..those wide tracks for that little thing..this is gonna look pretty cool I think 😀

[Dizzyfugu]

Interesting. The gun pistion is a bit odd?

[killnoizer]

Oh yes , it has a little bit ,,out of standard" specifications   

I'm not sure about the tracks , Color at all , maybe a very rotten washing in dark grey, very dark ...

Now if you posed that with a 1/48 scale figure (maybe a 1/35 scale one ?) it would look very similar to some of the French pre-WWII tank destroyers/SP Guns..

Those tracks really look good. Dark gray with some dust/mud and shiny bits where the dust/corrosion have been worn off.

It does look pretty claustrophobic, even in 1/72. The French Renault UE Chenillette would probably be the most extreme example.
