Looking good so far. I personally like the 1/6th scale rule better. Just a personal preference because there are tons of pre-manufactured stuff in 1/6th scale for details if you choose that route. A good site for Sherman stuff is: http://www.eastcoastarmory.com/ Not really any part sites that I know of for 1/8th scale.

Construction is of 5/8" ply for the lower hull, and upper will be of 1/2". I plan for 24v 450w motors, Tying type tracks, and full independant suspension (well, we will see about how to fit that in a tiny hull with everything else). More photos to follow as work progresses. Thanks to all who help with experience and advice. Aaron T0?? -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
