That's looking great!
What kind of Gearboxes did you use to fit the 3 pieces transmission cover? Do you have any pics of them with cover off?

I have no picture with cover off..
I use RB35 gears with 50:1 ratio and 390 Motors
The Gearbox body ist printed :

All those rivets

Such a cool project. I'm not even aware these existed before. There I go learnin sumptin new

What fun! The rough sound of that engine from the 1940s is a pleasure to hear.

Das macht Spaß! Der raue Klang des Motors aus den 1940er Jahren ist ein Genuß.

Hello,
Due to several other projects, the M33 had to wait.
But now it's done and ‘Brutus’ is ready (a few details still need to be added).
Brutus is the fourth vehicle belonging to Delta Company of the 647 Field Artillery Battalion of the 5th Army.

Very nice mate and very different

[Herr Dr. Professor]

What an extraordinary ARV! And, despite the rough 1940s engine sound, it runs so well in leaves.

So einen außergewöhnliches Bergepanzer! Und dann auch, trotz der raue 1940er Motorgeräusch, geht es so wohl durch die Blätter.
