Re: Maus? [TANKS]

["Clark Ward Jr" <ki4gyt-at-gmail.com>]

  I scaled the blueprints down on my computer down to a 1m scale, and
the amount of internal volume goes waaaay down.    The Maus is
probably NOT DO-ABLE in 1m scale.  Why?  Look at the front or rear
view.  The area between the tracks (at 1m scale) is only 5 inches
wide!!  The wider area that extends over the tracks has a vertical
clearance of 2.7 inches!  If I'd looked at that before, we could have
avoided the whole scale discussion.  LOL.  Looks like it's 1/6 or
nothing.

As for outfitting both guns...  I am a keep it simple kind of guy.
One gun = less maintenance.  If it had a rear turret (a la the
never-built "Rat") then I'd probably think differently.

But you are forewarned, now that it's 1/6, I feel no compunctions
about mounting a set of 1200W motors :)  (hehe just kidding)
