Awesome Colin, love projects like this. Shame you can't squeeze another Bogie assembly and wheel in there. Self propelled gun type could look the part or check out the NZ built Schofield tank. That had a turret in proportion with the size of the vehicle and was armed with Australian 2 pounder. anyway enjoy your posts. Cheers David.

Hi Dave, you're right about another set of bogies. He really wants 2 of these and If I do the other one I would build from scratch. That way I could fit 2 pair of bogies like the T16. I must admit that I'm really enjoying having the thinking cap on instead of building an example. I'll keep the pics coming.
Colin.

I've always liked these little tankettes from skoda.
They remind me of a little Stug, and are about the size of a carrier.

Looks good, interested in what it will look like when done.

What business is the client in?

Default Vickers Replica

I have done the measure up on fitting double bogies to a un-lengthened hull Colin, you can run double bogies on an un-extended carrier hull, you just need to remount the cross tube. I had double bogies on my Vickers replica before the project was abandoned. Can still have track warping for a little additional fabrication. I gave up on the Vickers replica due to the poor state of the hull I was working with....it was not worth repairing.

Whoever filmed that was tresspassing when doing so. We know the owner and have some of our own vehicles stored at this location. We have enough problems with people stealing as it is without idiots taking footage and posting it on youtube.

In other news, I always enjoy your threads Colin, excellent work on this vehicle as always.
