Flipping the Chimera armor backwards is a kind of cool idea, but it adds to the problem that most Hydra conversions using the Aegis guns have: it's too tall! I'm not a big fan of the really high gun in the back. Your lenses are looking good and I really dig the armor color of your tank. I'd love to see the backwards Chimera top armor done for something else in the future, it's a cool idea.

I think it looks pretty good. Add some markings/decals and it's good to go

How else is it supposed to reach all those aircraft?

It's not flipped backwards. I sawed the crew compartment off the top plate, and mounted the font part with the turret ring on the rear of the tank, and used a bit of plasticard to fill the gap this created.

Looks pretty cool. Do you mind posting a close up shot of the side of the tank?
