Hello all, I have just bought a plastic mato Sherman, it has the gearboxes in the plastic casings, I have took the
upper hull off for a quick poke about but not striped it out yet, who knows what replacement steel gearboxes fit as
I will be upgrading to metal running gear in the future.

regards john.

With what I can see of it as yet, as I need to remove the original gearboxes, it looks like it will be best to remove
the original mounting lugs and bond in a steel plate, and then mount the gearboxes onto that.
