It is my understanding that the Marauder may not actually have a "viewport" and may actually be something you use screens to pilot. There always was a lot of confusion about mechs with little to zero screen area.
Well in the original design the Glaug the WHOLE RED PART on the head is the cockpit, reason being the pilot size. The little eye area is just a camera. I don't know how that would translate to mechwarrior, but many models add a cockpit to the front of the design, which I think is ok too.
No, the large turbine makes the thing look like a jet. the JJ will be different on the rear, and the fact that the cannon is CT mounted will change. It's more likely to be like the Ironwind versions.
