Don, The wheels or tracks effectively add 2 to 6 studs of width, so starting anything more than 8 wide is going to make for a unrealistically big tank. I'd start with 6 o 8 in width, and maybe two and a half times that in length. I like to make sure (...) (17 years ago, 23-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military)
