I agree with Doug - 16 swingarms with overlapping road wheels is probably not the best idea for your first build.
Whatever tank you choose, I think the best way to get your plans is to buy a plastic kit (1:35 or larger) and measure off the kit to scale up the measurements.

They're big, boxy, and comparatively easy to build. If you go that route, I suggest not building overlapping road wheels like on the real thing. Use a nice, simple (but less accurate) in-line road wheel arrangement like on T01. - Doug From: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com [mailto:rctankcom...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of zachary thomas Sent: Saturday, September 04, 2010 7:19 PM To: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [TANKS] M1 Abrams plans Hmmmm it looks like il be going for a WWII era tank. thanks for the info ________________________________ From: David Cansler <dc...@verizon.net> To: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com Sent: Sat, September 4, 2010 7:12:46 PM Subject: Re: [TANKS] M1 Abrams plans German WWII designs have few bends and mostly made up of flat pieces Zach.

This gives little space for a marker inside. -Gregory On Sun, Sep 5, 2010 at 8:06 AM, jackal...@yahoo.com<mailto:jackal...@yahoo.com> <jackal...@yahoo.com<mailto:jackal...@yahoo.com>> wrote: Hey I am wanting to build an M1 Abrams tank, and am looking for some plans. I would be most gratefull if sombody had some for build an Abrams, i could get. Ive seen two on the Tank Combat website so far. one builts by Mark Massey, and one build by Matt Theiss. Im probably going to be building it out of wood ( it being my first tank and all ). And i also wanted to say, all of you guys and girls out there that keep this hobby alive are awesome! keep up the great work! Zach -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
