The bottom was shaped like that as I
wanted to get as much scale shapes as possible, but I have been rethinking the
shape to a flat bottom. The model is a 1:32 trumpeter kit The suspension at the moment will consist
of all internal, the center arms will be sprung like just about everybody else’s,
but the front and rear will be sprung similar but will be attached to a movable
anchor point, (front and rear attached to the same anchor) you move the anchor
forward which should raise the front and lower the back and vice versa
(thinking of a jack screw setup to a sliding shelf) pictures will be
forthcoming, when I get around to designing it on paper/CAM not just in my head From memory the it will be just over 1m

[mailto:tanks-admin-at-rctankcombat.com] On
Behalf Of OdysseySlipways-at-aol.com got a few questions about the tank. the drawings, what are the measurements
in, MM? how are you working the suspension? will
the springs be inside or out? just started thinking up an exterior suspention
for, but will have to scale the side of the tank onto paper to see if it's even
possible first. i was just looking, if the measurements
are in mm, from what i was just figuring, in 1:6th scale, it still seems to be
of good size - yup, just looked again, looks like a decent size. but i am curious as to one thing, why did
you shape the bottom of it like you did? why not just leave it flat and gain a
little more space? last question - the model you have, what
scale and who's make is it?
