This version makes much more sense. The dual front wheels would be a b!tch to turn.

Is not the T28 Super Heavy from Dragon Models good enough? Having seen the real item a number of times the kit certainly looks “on target” to my eye. (Note: I have not read the reviews.)

The single front wheels Sterling is not really a “version.” A jack, an impact wrench and 2-3 guys can convert between single and dual front wheels in an afternoon. Just don’t let one of those tires fall over and land on you!

Good video describing the development of the T26 and its demise.

I guess it has come full circle then. 
Guess I should look at the whole thread before posting.

@Frenchy Yeah. Practically any book can be had if one is willing to pay a high price. Unless and until my portfolio grows by one magnitude, I would prefer to keep things on the low side. 
@165thspc If I recall correctly, tracks on the Dragon T28 are the wrong width. The model designer tweaked a bunch of angles to compensate such that the whole thing is too narrow by 5 or 6 mm. On the other hand, it is definitely in the ball park and looks like a T28. Dunno. Sometimes I wonder if the 1mm here and 2 mm there stuff really matters. It’s not like I am building master grade models for museums. Yet, I want stuff to be right. Another negative for me is the Dragon Styrene tracks.

I would certainly go for a Sterling in 1/35th but I would also want that monster 6-axle articulated trailer to go along with!

Apparently, this guy has made a 1/16 RC version. It even has motorized ramps on the M15A1 trailer. Pretty cool.
