Well the cockpit is aboot 90% complete. I really want to finish it so I can paint it. Then that will force me to complete this build. My next update I will have the basics for the second seat as it were. It's a gunners position, which is being designed from an SF3D Krote turret. More on that later.

Well here is a quickee update....... For the second seat, I've been toying with several concepts....here is one: Using the turret from an SF3D Krote, I've begun modifications to make it more 1/20th scale. It COULD be mounted to the rear quarter of the Maus on a pedestal style mount.

So in this installment I am working on the turrets 25mm gun. Now since I am using the Krote for the basis of the turret, it is important to know that the Krote's main gun was fixed. It had no independent elevation mechanism, the Krote itself was the elevation mechanism. So for mine I had to create something, as well as anew gun system....large external ammunition box is a comin.....

I hope Monsanto doesn't get to see your bat-toad hybrid - it might give them, yet another, bad idea Will you have to fix it to a base to prevent it turning into a tail-sitter?

My plan is to fill any void spaces with lead, or the reasonable facsimile that is now sold within the confines of the US..... That's the current plan to kep this from happening....Dierk also remember this beast has that big "chin gun", which should also help stabilize the weight......
Thanks
