Lief    Have you considered a fan  mounted in the engine compartment so it can blow 
some of that heat out ?    The orginal must have had a radiator someplace on the 
back.

: I am pleased to announce that Lief Goodson's Stuart Light Tank has been 
: officially designated as Tank #T009 and it appears to be ready for 
: battle.  With the 12 month battling season in Florida, Lief will almost 
: certainly have logged dozens of hours of stick-time by the time most of 
: us finish digging out from the winter that is shaping up to be a real 
: nasty one.  Lief has provided some good photos and lots of good building 
: information, which can be viewed at:

: that can't install a 68cal marker.  The paintball splats aren't as 
: impressive and the range might not be as far, but it certainly makes 
: installations easier and will probably require less maintenance.
