What's on the tin.
Inspired by the M3 Lee thread,
but I've had this idea a long time.
The M3/M5 were pretty lightweight, & increasingly unsuited for use as battle tanks. They were also reasonably commonplace. So, what would it take to convert them in the fashion of the Kangaroo? Or in a heavier-gunned version, say with 5" AT rockets & a Skink turret?
Would moving the engine to the front, & driving the front sprockets, be excessively difficult?
(After some thought, rather than move the engine, wouldn't it be easier & simpler to extemporize a z-drive & power the rear sprockets?
)
