How much clearance from the air intakes would that turret have when facing the rear? Or is the distance from the centre of the turret equal to both the front and rear edges?

Sorcery almost certainly...

Good question on clearance- It doesnt look like it in the pics but there is a significant bustle on the turret.  Not checked the rotation clearances TBH but I can do that in the software... apparently...

Clearance did need work as it happens thanks for the tip!

In the mean time - undercarriage:

How would you expect the wheels to be assembled? I haven't seen what Jeff's done with the heavier tanks, but at least with the Tiger II they were complete units instead of separate pieces. Ah ...because, well, those interleaved road wheels are always such a joy to put together. ;)

Looking at those renders its curious just how simple the exterior construction of that vehicle was. Just loads of flat plates. I suppose the interior was more complex, but I'd imagine that once you worked out the detailed areas and weird angles the rest fell into place.

With a turret that size how large is the plug going to be? Most of the weight looks like it'll be in the turret at least, so there's not much risk of it toppling over.

The track units are designed with hidden geometry to join all the links together. 
They have a chunk of hull attached and a strip that join the upper track to the hull.
The hull and turret are just big flat slabs.

Just the skirts to go.  A couple of minor repairs needed but not much.  Just the front and rear towing points

That is impressive, dwarfing the other two.
