All dimensions for this project were taken from a 1/35 scale model and multiplied by 8.75 to give me a 1/4 scale measurement. All the internal workings of the tank were designed in my head and rough sketches were put on paper, basically I figured things out as I went along.
Everything is cut to size and ready for gluing.
Lower hull glued together.
Upper hull and lower hull joined together. The tank is glued using PL premium construction adhesive. Brackets are then screwed in to critical high stress areas and a couple layers of acetone/fiberglass resin mix is painted on the inside of the hull. This allows the resin to seep in to the wood and joints and form an extremely strong bond.
