Re: Size of Comet and Cromwell [TANKS]

The Churchill is an interesting machine...  I think if I ever made something 
as good as the StuG, my second would be something a lot simpler.    =)

Hull mounted guns do look easier to build, but taking a closer look at the 
Lee/Grant I was planning on, it looks like I may run into problems mounting 
a gun right on top of where the motor would sit.  hopefully I can get a 
posterboard mockup done to see if I can get everything inside before I even 
start this thing.

The MkIII would be a 40/4.
