Guys
This is a whatif 4" british gun tank
Ive been fiddiling with the resizing and its now as big as the page will take without having to scrole about all over the place hope you all like that.
The tracks are academy tiger ind links and i can get them anywhere and they are easy to assemble
and a good size for tanks this size
The wheels are resin copies of centurion wheels
The turret is scratch built in plastic and car body filler
it has an achillies mantlet and m4 hatches with a tamiya 20 pder barrel which is my fictional 4"
at gun
Ive put 30 cals in the mantlet and hull and the guns on top are academy from the boxset
hope you like it
regards andrew

I'm not usually into hypothetical builds but that looks b****y good. It looks like that would work as a tank! Nice work feller! Could be a future for you in tank design! :-)

Nice one Andrew the main thing is it looks right ,it looks like aPershing /centurion hybrid.It's also nicely in proportion just the tank for storming the beaches in Japan!

The bottom section kind of reminds me of a Panzer III, and the way the turret sit's sort of looks T-34 ish, great looking model, what regiments markings/paint scheme are you going to give it? and of course it needs a name.
