I am not sure how long this will take but I did get started on my new build, and here is what I am shooting for. The tank had MEXAS armor added and shipped to Afghanistan. I am going to model the bare C2, and then add the MEXAS modules as I get them built







So to start with it was an Email to Karen at the AAF to secure the basics, a Tamiya 1A4. I also have a resin C2 Turret on route.



I built the chassis as per the instructions and have got it to the gear box stage. Here is the first place I deviated from the build instructions. I used Mato 2 gear boxes, and harvested the output shafts from the kits to have a gear box that I can easily mount the Tamiya drive wheels on. I used the Tamiya supplied stand offs, and had to drill new holes in the tank floor to match the Mato steel mounting plate.



Next up is mounting the wheels, installing the track and wiring up the chassis for sound and running trials.
