A little time back on this august site there was a bit of chit chat on the Ideas and Inspiration Board around the Tetrach Tank and getting armour in for Airborne forces to give a bit of hitting power for the Recce elements and the challenges to do that.
My contribution was to hypothosize around a Universal Carrier Fitted with a Polsten Cannon as it provided commonality with the AA element bought in by glider as far as weapon and ammunition.
So to put my plastic where my gob is.. here we go
So first up we need a Polsten Cannon.I am far too cheap for this type of build to buy a Resicast job, so scratchbuild.. here we come. It is a big sucker, over 2m in length and good enough for government work.
So, drop it in the standard Carrier.. that would be too easy.. naaaaahhhh.. lets have some added armour and a casement type mount
Some small modification to fit the operator and give access to ammo. Practical.. no. Expedient and suitability to task ?
Maybe.
The real challenge to come is getting some running gear. All the Running gear for this particular model was used on a scratchbuild of the Preying Mantis prototype, hence why this carcass was hanging around.
