Of course, by first question is: Can you separate the front from the back?

Well you can, as long as you want to go only in straight lines.  The Hugglund's use a differential system for steering where the front and rear push against each other to veer the front half's direction.

It does have that Scifi look.  The PL-01 is based on the Swedish CV90120-T light tank.  I saw it up close a few years back.

I never thought I would see a PL-01 as a mainstream, injection molded kit! It makes me hopeful they’ll do a standard CV90-120 too.

Ditto.  A standard CV90-120 would be great.  As would:

The Apache has the Longbow radar and then there is JSTARS type radar so there could be a need.
