Subject: Diemos GEV tank construction

List vehicle builders,

At ECC this year, I bought a Diemos GEV tank in 25mm. It comes with a huge
main gun, a skirt, turret, and main body (and a hatch I think). And
a LAD?/PDS?

Two construction problems:

1) Where to put the LAD (AA GMS)/PDS unit?
Does it go on the thin back part of the turret or is it meant to go to the
right of the Commander's hatch?

2) How to counterbalance the overbalanced turret? I mounted the turret far
back, but the huge weight of the lead main armament is leaving the turret
tipped forward.... obviously I need to do something to counterweight the back.
Any suggestions on best approach? First idea is lead washers and dremel to
install them in back underside of turret, but this sounds ugly.

Your input appreciated.
