Skink AA Tank 28mm

**Note - v. 2 loaded on 24April2018. The hull has been upgraded with new tools; the gun pack improved and fitted into the recesses of the hull making for a good combination. Please check pictures on this model or historical photos for correct placement of the barrels. I have retained the option of a turret without barrels in which 1mm brass or aluminium rod can be used, but with the new weapon pack; I think printed barrels will work well for most. This is a 28mm (1/56th scale) model of a Canadian WW2 Anti Aircraft tank, the "Skink". The Skink was built on the chassis of a Canadian built Grizzly tank, essentially an M4A1. The turret holds four x 20mm Polsten auto cannons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skink_anti-aircraft_tank I based it on the M4A1 from manifold destiny's https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1037138; upscaling it. I created the turret using Tinkercad. I have included two turret options; one with cannon barrels and a second without barrels, as dependent on your choice of settings and filament, thin barrels can be fragile. I use 1mm aluminium tubing or even sometimes just segments of the jumbo paperclips to simulate barrels. In the barrel-less option, I have left recesses in the gun mounts to aid securing the added barrels.
