I was originally planning to build the British A39 Tortoise Tank, however, due to limited pieces I decided to go for a generic Tank Destroyer design.
Tank Destroyers are tanks without turrets and with bigger guns, designed for one sole purpose, to destroy tanks. Some examples are tanks such as the German Jagdpanther or the Soviet ISU-152.
My tank destroyer's closest resemblance that I know of is the American T18.
Anyway enough history, onto the model.
It uses two M Motors geared down 3:1, the result is fairly reliable and it has only just enough torque, but does the job for the space available.
I have used bogie suspension, which works faultlessly, except for the fact the suspension movement is very small.
And finally the exterior of the model, which, I admit, was a bit rushed, however, I am still pleased with the outcome.
The performance of the model is pretty good, it isn't fast but then it's not supposed to be, it's a tank. It can do some "off roading" on terrain like snow, grass, soil and Lego. The gears within the drivetrain do slip quite often awful creating the dreaded "grinding noise" which can be annoying at times. Finally a video, (yes it did snow in the UK in March...)
