I aagree that six wheels would look cool (and would've been far easier!) but I really wanted to try the 4-wheel version in homage to Owen Rees' classic Tahnelian Airborne version.<br /><br />I'll probably post pics of it next time...Admiral Draxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476823273954165890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-59467710425537863972010-07-09T10:05:13.239+01:002010-07-09T10:05:13.239+01:00Looks cool.

I would put it on the glacis plate to the left (on the model) of the aquila, and reverse the angle so they are angled up and out (ie flip the piece upside down to its current position).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-44576608349985348222010-07-08T09:01:31.174+01:002010-07-08T09:01:31.174+01:00Hey Drax

It's definitely...Definitely a solid build Drax! It's definitely got that guard flavor to it, though I think with the wheels being as small as they are (compared to the final bulk of the model) a second six wheeled variant may look more 'realistic' - either a set up front for steering and two sets in the back, or three equally-spaced sets (though that would interfere with the way you've done the door). Overall though, a cracking kitbash - can't wait to see it painted up! Keep up the great work!Mordian7thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-31208588221841970112010-07-07T19:43:41.808+01:002010-07-07T19:43:41.808+01:00Thanks, guys!
