Thanks guys for the kind support on this build. I should have prefaced this as a non-historical tank as this was a special request by my little boy. I realize those of you all on here that want to accurately build a tank to the spec even down to the color and scratch on a tank. I applaud you by it.

But this one will not be accurate and wanted to get general ideas seen in the link sent above as I have never altered a factory kit. So in other words, I'm "Virgin Modifier" I want to be able to service the tank easily with the mods, which is why I am asking. I also have not seen or had hard time finding a specific 1/16 RC Super Pershing, maybe less than a handful. So all ideas are welcome in my book. Thanks again everyone for your suggestions and taking the time to respond. Will show pictures during my build soon.
