Good Afternoon,
They are brilliant pieces of work, Eddy. I'm looking forward to working on my M36B1 and using some of those detail pieces to dress it up as well.
regards,
Painless

Hi! There are two options:
1. Mato turret from Dave "Forgebear"
2. Schumo turret from Axels modellbau, but it's pricey and temporary not available.

Thanks!
During the test drive the gearboxes are ok. More I'll say after driving on the grass or sand. But it'll be after painting.
