2005/02/23 - M11/40, M15/42, Semoventa de 75/18 [TANKS] (Tom Aquino)

Well I've just about gotten all my reference material assembled to start construction on my vehicle. I'll be working on two vehicles I have always had an interest in. First a M1542 Italian medium tank basically a better armored new engine version of the M1340 and the Semoventa de 75/18 self propelled gun. Both vehicles used the same chassis so constructing them at the same time should be a little less difficult than two opposite designs. Unfortunately I can only afford to outfit one completely while the other will stay a rolling chassis till additional funds can be obtained from my military defense budget, better know as my wife. I plan on using a version of the Tyng Track System, thanks for design Mr. Tyng. I have yet to decided on a power plant for the vehicle. Waiting on my scale drawing from Mr. Bradford so I can see how much room I will have in the chassis to mount everything I'll need.

A quick word on George and his plans. I contacted George a week ago to reaffirm prices were correct and for availability of the plans I needed. He was more than helpful and a pleasure to do business with. I told George about another Italian vehicle he offers no plans to at this time and sent him the drawings I had of it. A day later George was hard at work researching and drawing plans to this new vehicle. I ended up ordering plans to 7 vehicle and George informs me they will be in the mail today along with some additional drawings he is adding. I would highly recommend using his services and at $2 a drawing they are a steal. Contact info. is below for those of you in need of plans. Of course you will have to enlarge his 1/35 scale plans 580% to get the correct 1/6th scale.

Well that about covers it for now. Will keep you informed when I have additional information.
