I dunno, I quite like the idea of the Haribo tank. Looks good on the table and it’s a rewarding snack as well.

damn phone... It's the on on the right!!

Printing the other side now... 8 hours a go.

Almost finished the rest too, just turret details still to go

Heavy stuff! Looks great!

Well, it definitely looks like the source material!

Looking forward to seeing it transition further to a physical model

Could be the angle of the image or maybe it’s just me but the turret looks a little flat and lower than it should.

It's correct to the drawings I've got (No guarantees they are right of course): Fusion draws things without perspective which makes things look weird.

~~That is back to the one with the 105mm gun ^__^.~~
[Edit] It is the one with the 90 and 105mm guns ^__^.
I see what Carlos meant about the Haribo version (as opposed to the Kendal Mint Cake version).

I wondered if anyone would spot the gun...

They are components within the drawing. I can add or remove them with a click. I just grabbed the barrels to print as they don't take up much room and forgot to turn one off again!

You'd not want to eat these versions...

Finally got a pair of tracks I can work with...

Next up - the Hull!
I've printed it once, printed almost perfectly firat time - but I've had ot make changes to the model to beef up areas, I'll also print it the other way up. Problem is the fine vent slats at the rear are easily damaged then removeing supports so I'll print it the other way up.

That said - seeing as I already have a hull I might print a turret... so I can at least see the whole hting in one piece!

Looking forward to seeing it.

Me too!

Progress:

Nice.

Getting there. Looks like the cupola .50 cal could do with metal or resin replacement though.

Now, just in case you were minded to do a Mighty Mite, here’s a useful reference, complete with plans.

Here’s a picture of Walter Cronkite at Huế featuring one.
