Rocketman - Yes the tiger / panzer shafts are shorter and have the same ends to fit the sprockets so worth a try.

The Tiger/Pz shafts are 23mm long (measured from the outside of the gearbox.)

Yep that's got it, nipped outside to the workshop and pinched the gearboxes outta my tiger project.
They still have to be offset a bit as they are too wide sat next to each other but thankfully I have the height in the model to allow for that
The white ramp holds the second gearbox
And this is it in place
Thanks guys!

Quick update, sorry if this getting boring as its not a real life tank, let me know and Ill stop posting updates!
Wheels
Cant cut pipe straight to save my life and needed something exactly 40mm across and 12mm wide. Flash of brilliance and realised wheel bearing would be brilliant. Complete one for the inner road wheel outer shell and new mould for outer. Instant metal wheels with built in bearings!
Side vents cut out and grills made
Light rig started
I need to get this finished as I need to get the next one off the bench is so big, can anyone guess this one?

Big update, had one of my designers set the graphics and one of my suppliers ran the vinyls for me. I suppose I'd better build it some wheels now!

Cheers Alb glad you like.
Final bit of vinyl went down in the week. Crispy taught me how to settle it down with a hair dryer, amazing the tricks of the trade that help!
