The ex-Matchbox (now Revell) Chaffee is a great model to convert to SF. 
Leave the track guards, suspension and hull sides off and the hole can 
be plated over with a single piece of plastic card. You can either 
decorate the blank side with blowers (the exhausts from a 1/72nd AV-8* 
Harrier would work well) or just leave them blank and you'll have a very

respectable 15mm scale tank. The turret shape is rounded so it doesn't 
look too WW2 and because the Chaffee isn't often recognised outside of 
WW2 buffs you won't have everyone walking up to the table telling you 
they know what your conversions were based on ...
