Work continued on today,taking the motors out of another tiger Tank to mount in the front section of the Panzer.Drilled out the holes for the gear box shafts and used the extension tubes to line the gear boxes up for drilling the holes for mounting.Will make the shaft extensions for the drive shafts tomorrow,then will mount the last two sprockets.One thing I didn't count on(tearing two tanks apart for parts but discovered two different boards in the two tanks.RX-13 and RX-14)Had four tigers to pick from,chose two with different boards.( [:-][:-][:-]--DAM--DAM--DAM--).I hate changing boards.
Getting closer though to the instalation of the boards and the real test of "will this actually work like I hope" ???.Will be answering that question soon.If it don't pan out I can always put the Tigers back togeather or use the parts to move on to some other project,or have another Panzer with one set of gear boxes instead of two.I starting to accumulate a lot of,radios,transmissions,original gear trains from Panzers,Panzer tracks,And humvee tranny and wheels,Tiger hulls,and a panzer hull.
Getting ready to box all the extras up and post them in the RCU classifieds.Work continues on tomorrow-----BIGMIG
