Except that instead of having a dedicated driver for going in reverse, the commander climbed down from his seat. This is also why there is a small vision port on the rear, above the steering wheel.
If they used a second driver they’d have to put in a stepladder and crowbar to get the commander in…..as there are no pedals I assume the driver did the accelerating and breaking and the commander just steered it…..
To the best of my knowledge, yes. Which poses problems if the reason you want to go in reverse is because something just came in through your front armour, of course.
The idea is probably to get out quicker without that happening Jakko. Got to be quicker than a three point turn anyway …
Well, yes. But something tells me that in combat, you don’t always get the choice
Yes very over designed Jakko, but it’s building up nicely so far.Some odd design choices there. Main-gun ammunition racks from etched brass with plastic tops, so they will look to scale thickness when left empty, I guess, but the shelves on the hull walls are moulded in plastic. The other way around seems like it would have been a better idea. All those etched bits under the driver’s seat also seem a total waste of effort, both the design and to have built them …
Anyway, nice work putting it all together, as that can’t have been overly fun
I’m not sure Tony, but I’m thinking of having a side door/hatch open.
