kth:

The problem is, you'll need both a new hull and a new turret, plus assorted other parts/sprues. The traverse gearbox for the 56014 mounts on studs cast as part of the 56014 hull... its mostly the same as the RT1601 & 56005 hull, but differs in the holes for lights, traverse mount and roller-wheel posts, and the points where the body clips hold it to the chassis.

It may be big and clunky... but it wasn't really noisy if lubricated well, and the clutch was MUCH better than the new one (which is useless)

If you're going to go that far, you may as well have bought a 56014... cause after the Hi-IQ T-2000, and all these sprues, thats about the price you'll be looking at. I speak from experience, as I paid to upgrade a Tiger 1 static kit... and I now regret doing that instead of buying a MF kit and stripping it.

You want the sprue references for buying, let me know, I'll make an itemised list, and I recommend Karen @ AAF Tank Museum (you want her mail addy, just ask, I can get a blind link to work here) She got me my Pershing sprues at about 75% of TamiyaUSA MSRP.
