M22 Locust - Light Tank - Globally complete

grabcad

Dear GC'ers,It's been some time since I uploaded something, but I finally found some time to get this mainly done. Little things such as bolts, nuts and accessories are not included, but might come later.Here I have for you, the M22 Locust light tank. It has been used in the second World War for (ofcourse) defensive uses. They were produced from 1941 up to 1945 with a total quantity of 830. It is a sweet little tank, which could reach a speed of 64 km/h and had a reach of 320 km. This was possible because of the pretty thin armour it had. (9.5 to 12.5 mm thick) Causing it to be only 7.5 tonnes. Its gunnery consists of a 37 mm M6 gun and a .30 Browning machine gun.The reason I chose this tank to be modelled is because I really like the size of it. It's just.. so small compared to other tanks! I began modelling this model near the end of 2016 and finally recently I found some motivation and dedication to get this somewhat finished.Enjoy the model! If you want to publicly use it, please let me know! I'm just curious where it will end :)PS: I do see some weird colours within the files after the uploading. This shouldn't affect the model! Aaaaaand don't mind the shiny paint of the tank.. I had spent quite some time figuring out how to get it all set, but couldn't really figure out how to get the matt colour right.. A zip file is included with all the files for Solidworks. Also a x_b, x_t and a IGS file are there for you! If you have any questions, feel free to ask them!Source for the blueprint and detailwork used in this model:http://drawingdatabase.com/http://www.primeportal.net/tanks/david_lueck/m22_locust/Source for the information on this little tankie: http://wikipedia.org/
