Tamiya Display models - fitting gearbox
Hi all, I want to ask, if anyone already has fitted HL or Taigen gearbox to Tamyia tank. I am considering buying Jagdpanther DisplayModel, but I am not sure about what gearbox to buy (original Tamiya seems to be overpriced for my budget).
Or I found a set that maybe include all internal parts for one gearbox, as body of gearbox is included (according to build videos in YT) within Display model of JP. I am just not sure, if there is all that will be needed to complete one gearbox.
Set:

Thanks for any help

That set seems to have it all, except drive shaft bearings and all the little screws, it just has one screw.

Re: Tamiya Display models - fitting gearbox
Be careful, those Tamiya repair kits aren't usually readily available - I waited 2 or 3 years for Axel's to get the Sherman set back in stock.
As for fitting HL gearboxes, be warned that the drive shafts are different and the Tamiya sprockets likely won't fit right. You might end up having to go down the route of HL tracks and sprockets, or Taigen ones - HL and Taigen don't fit together, so you can't mix and match them either.
I've never tried using Tamiya tracks with either HL or Taigen sprockets, so somebody else will have to comment on that.

Re: Tamiya Display models - fitting gearbox
Isn't that for a Sherman though, I believe Mr Smaily needs the gear sets for a jag panther, and was just using that Sherman link at Axel's as an example.
