This is a nice model, congratulations on your very rapid build. The tracks you chose look very suitable for the scale, too. Presumably you are steering it by switching the motors, but I'm curious - are you going to implement track warping too? Your last photo above seems to show the centre bogie assembly in a slidable tube. By the way, a popular and very cheap drive unit for large scale tanks are cordless screwdrivers. They have very compact dual-stage planetary gearboxes with heaps of torque.
Steve.

Update... lots of pics:
Well work is progressing on the carrier. I have opened up the upper vent and the radiator openings in the bulkhead. I used a piece of aluminum screening as a mock rad grill. I have added vision ports and guards with actuateing levers, constructed the steering wheel and mast, temporarily attached the seats, added dummy hinges to the ports side upper shield, made the front upper shield moveable, started the instrument cluster compartment. Here are pics of the work so far... there are lots of them

I had started a separate thread looking for good clear pics of the gauges for the instrument panel. I do realize I have some inaccuracies in the building of this carrier but I can live with them. Thank you for all the comments.... Harold
