I really don't care what the final weight on my tanks are, the motors I'm using are powerful enough to push it and push it well. My Sturmtiger is so strong I can sit on it. Some of the KV-2 is overbuilt so when I get back from this place again, I'll start work on finishing all 3 of my tanks. I didn't get a chance to work at all on my R&R. Too many "honey do's".
