The R40 got chopped down to A division specs!The R-36 (model) was shorter than the R-40 model. The chopping on the R-36 has been more subtle. We did in fact make the R-40 to be more than 15% longer than the R-36, but most of that space got taken up by the slant cab, which is twice as slanted as it is supposed to be in real life. If the R-40 model had been any longer, it wouldn't have fit in an A-division car for transport. You'd think a cardboard mockup wouldn't involve so much actual engineering. AEM7AC |
