Suggestions, finally have time to get my Sherman project going. I am looking to an aftermarket gearbox, will use a stock mato if there is no good option

Thanks.

Dan (YHR) pointed me toward the mato 2.0 gearboxes. They need a little work to get them to fit but so worth it

Hey guys that is the idea, which mato 2.0 gear box did you use there, or is it designed for a sherman ?

They're the Stug/pzr3 boxes.

The mounting plate needs narrowing and new mounts need fabricating, but its quite a straight-forward job

Perfect thanks for all your help, I will get a build thread going once I have a few more bits together. I am building an A4 so a little different, 3 piece nose, different engine deck, technically 6 or so inches longer (1:1 scale) but not worth extending at this scale.

Close more like this one, post '43. It will generally represent my dad's tank, 1st Hussars CDN, after D-day.
