RE: Still doing arl44? (Steve?) [TANKS]

What do you think about the dimensions of the ARL44 as a scale tank?  It
will be my first tank, so I'm asking do you think it will be hard to
shoehorn everything in to that chassis?  I don't read French so this
translation is all I have to go on right now:

rg.mozilla:en-US:official_s%26sa%3DG.  It says 3,40 as the width and I'm
assuming that this really means 3.4 meters 56-57 centimeter's across.  I'll
have to scale a photo and measure the track width though and determine how
much room I actually have.  Did you collect any more good info on the ARL44
(sites with other measurements) when you where considering it?

I decided on a short barrel tank for short range battle - hence the
Cromwell MKVI.  As everyone will attest to, I like to battle within 5.01
feet.  ;-)
