Re: 1/6 scale [TANKS]

[Martin Helsing <martin.helsing-at-earthlink.net>]

I have settled on 1/8th scale for the tank I am working on. The LVT(a)-4.

As a result, I am gonna have trouble fitting all 40 rounds of ammo in the turret.

One solution is to build a bigger tank. My next one will be. My current solution is 
to reduce the size of the hopper so that it fits inside the tank and carry the 
remaining ammo in a bin somewhere on the tank tha tI can refil the hopper from while 
in the field.

Is this kosher? I still have 40 rounds (its a 3" howitzer in the turret). I just 
have to reload the "clip" from my "ready reserve" ...

My unusual choice of tank (the M1A1HA is on hold for now) is because it was both 
transport (LVT-2) and tank (LVTa-4). Furhtermore, the bogies are situated below the 
sponsons so consruction of the rolling chassis was simpler than other tank designs.

Thanks,
Martin
