The original plan was just to make it a supply vehicle, but the plan now is to build two tops. One would be the flat top supply vehicle top and the second would have the FSV (fire support vehicle) top with a turret. I picked up the FSV 1:35 model on Ebay to make the build easier. The biggest issue with the build right now is that the motors are producing so much torque that they are causing the upper hull to separate a bit at the corners where the front plate meets the sides of the hull. I might rebuild the hull out of PVC sheet since I am in the process of ordering some for my KV-2 build now that I know the drivetrain is workable design. Or I could find a way to add some bracing to the existing hull, but due to the way I mounted the motors that might be difficult.
