Freddy this is just outstanding! Very inspiring work and execution as usual

A scratch built model is usually worthy of the greatest praise; but one which also includes with scratch built gearboxes... well... That's real genius

This is indeed a nice build! Using compact brushed motored and face to face gear reduction units (what reduction option did you go for?) is a bit of a novelty in tanks but any solution that then utilises bevel pinion gears gears gets my vote and brings back memories of 1960s tuning options for slot racers!

Keep it coming

Thanks again for your great comments, guys!

I'm using standard gear motors 25mm, 12V, 400RPM with 1:1 bevel gear.

Some main steps forward…
Because there is no (early) gear for German tanks available, I‘ve designed it myself.





Attached to the tank and after applying a light grey primer, the build with its details is better visible.

















Because the weather was fine my Panzer II Ausf C made his first moves .

The tension of the suspension is too stiff; I’ve to adjust a little.

For the one who is interested in this kit, is available now:
