Nice.

The Qloader mag and a nice big bottle of CO2 should have no trouble
fitting into this hull.

Have you been able to find out how much armor these things sported?

I toyed with the idea od a S-tank a while back but could never find info
on armor thickness

I am starting construction on a Stridsvagn 103C next week.  It should be
ready for the next Maryland battle later in the summer.

The suspension will use torsion springs, with the inside ends attached
to arms swinging around the axles.  The swinging arms of the front and
rear road wheels on each side will be attached to a bar that is driven
by a matching arm on a very slow, high torque gearmotor.

Because there is almost no room above the barrel, I'm planning to use
the Q-Loader previously discussed.

Lot of discussion on it a few months back.  I believe there is someone
working on it.  The only problem I see is the suspension elevation that
the original has.  And maybe fitting everything inside.
