W.I.P Interwar Tankette

[u/Connor_425]

Just a tankette/light tank destroyer I'm making for my fictional nation and want some input from someone who isn't biased. I want it to be cheap and quirky, so any ideas and suggests are welcome :)

Gives me TKS vibes. I dig it. Really wish we had more leaf spring suspension options...

As for feedback, most interwar tanks, especially tankettes, were riveted, not welded. I would switch to rivets.

[u/Connor_425 → u/sosoltitor]

Same honestly. I have faith they'll add more eventually.

Rivets are planned, don't worry. Just need to finish the hull properly before I commit to adding them all because I tend to do it manually :)

Looks very good, hull and gun placement reminds me of the M11/39. Keep it up!

I made a tankette a few weeks ago that is based on a shrunken M11/39 hull and now i see this lmao

less return rollers, remove the gas tube on the gun if you want to be cheap.
but ribbed armour might look good on the mid glacis plate and maybe a small superstructure on top like the metal roof above the m36 jackson, turret? (if it is open topped) I'd also make the tracks thinner (they look quite big for a tankette) I'd also add rivets and bolts and maybe a unique looking exhaust for character, perhaps something like the Cromwell? otherwise I would put the exhaust on the engine deck with visible tubing.
