It would look better with a hatch and machine gun in my opinion.
The body shape is awesome though.

I'm going to change the gun a bit. I'm not happy with it. The hatch on the side I might make bigger; troops should be able to get out fast. The back has no room for a hatch since it's a cargo storage area.
Instead of the little hatch on the side, why don't you make the whole front fold down?
I thought there was a door in the back...
Looks more like an escape hatch for the driver. Also, a front opening apc is completely stupid. Your thickest armor is ALWAYS the front section of the vehicle. You meet the enemy head on with your thickest armor, letting troops out the back so that they're shielded on exit. Having the front open to enemy machine gun fire, grenades and rockets is probably the worst idea.
D-day boat transport flaw....
That's all I have to say.
I added a hatch on the side as far back as possible. I don't like it. I might have to just scrap the storage area and have the junk on the roof/tread covers.
Why not just do like airplanes and have compartments in the top corners holding equipment? That or just make the apc a tad bit high and have a slim compartment located under them.
apc's usually (if not always) carry the extra gear externally on baskets, etc. http://www.southeasthobbies.com.au/c...s/LF1104_1.jpg
Well I wanted a place to store large cargo and not just gear, but I think now that it's unnecessary as the APC should be just delivering troops and not supplies.
edit: Nice pic snaf, thanks.
