Predator 2A1 Main Battle Tank

Ladies and gentlemen! I present to you, my newest tank! This is the Predator 2A1 MBT, a new model to replace the aging Panther 1A1 series of tanks in the Grand Republic of Silverfield arsenal. The following is a brief amount of information about the tank....but before that I just want to say the following

This was a pain in the butt to do. I was looking at different tanks and I found one that I kinda like. I was still working with the same base (my panther's tracks) just so I had less work....was i wrong. I ended up just throwing out half the creative stuff I was planing and almost went with just a rehash of the original tank.

Thankfully I didn't, and here is the half-finished product. I plan to go back to this later, but for now....its done. So now, enjoy the background fluff.
