Default T-27 Scratch build.

Well I have decided on a tank. If you have read my other post I said I wanted to do a 1/8 scale Abrams from interdacom, but instead I think I will try my hand and tools at a T-27 Tankette. To what I have read they were used as prime movers for USSR anti tank guns, and consisted of a 7.62 MG at front with a crew of 2. I found some blue prints and I will start doing some brain storming tommorow. Below is a picture of the T-27. I will start throwing drawings up of the design, I aim to get as close to the original with some minor differances.

Ok today I picked up some K&S products. I will be doing some figuring out on these suspension parts. I also am Currantly trying to get K&S to supply me direct. I could get all the metal I need for this project and a few others in the future if it all works out. They just have to check with the big boss first.
