Default ARMY SURPLUS SPECIAL

Sitting with the kids watching TV one day, an episode of Whackey Races, popped up, I`ve been looking for somthing a bit different, need to inject a little spark into a flagging motivation, and there it was-The Army Surplus Special.
Well got on the net-and struck gold, a sight has paper models of them all so i downloaded and assembled-results below (if pics work)
Im looking to use aHL Panther to donate parts etc.
Scale? not sure but enlarging plans from a4 to a3 paper and go from there.
Although its a cartoon, Im going to try to "detail" it up to look a bit more real, but keeping the original shape.
Not sure about S&S yet will see what space i have.
Goingto try to get BB gun traverse and elevation in the turret as well
