Hi all, here is the start of my mato Sherman.

Heng long steel gearboxes fitted, the original mounts were cut away and the gearbox casings were modified,
gearboxes,suspension,tracks supplied by dave (forgebear)

It was a bit of a shoe horn job.

Gear casings were cut to clear front bogie mount.

Screw from original gearbox screws into gear casing, makes it nice and solid.

I have made it so I can strip the gearboxes in situ.

A bit of a lash up to get it up and running.
