ARUP:

Thanks for that information...that's pretty much what I figured. I am going to get a couple more kits under my belt in the 1/6 size from CD Scale Designs. Interested Chris' Pup, DH2 (hasn't made it to kit production yet), and the SE5a from Chris. The Proctor VK DR1 in 1/6 scale is another kit on my list and then I feel i'll be comfortable enough to tackle a 1/6 size short kit (hardware and all) of the Triplehound and have the experience to figure what will go where

I will check out the plans you suggested.
