Randy,
Congratulations, very well done! I have been reading and viewing your endeavor for the last two years. You have done an excellent job with a lot of attention to detail. Probably better made than the original! I also would like to see a video of it moving under its own power. That would be very cool!
Good luck and hope you have many more similar projects!

Excellent work! But is it a running/driving tank or static display?

Shooting tank and display for now the motor has 2 bad cylinders. The shop says. So we will probably get a new one. But for review she will sit, and fire off a few blank rounds for demonstration purposes.
