Maybach HL 64 engine from the 8 ton semi-track. TU = Tiefer Unterteil ('deep lower part' i.e. wet sump), only fitted to some halftracks. The sump has an inverted triangle shape, bolted to the underneath of the crankcase housing.
Make more models!

Re: Weird and Wild Model kits
Well I have a Rommel's Rod in the stash as well. I'd be building it OOB because I haven't got a spares box with parts that would fit; and I don't want to spend extra on additional parts.
As for the 1/72 scale stuff, yeah; they've got a load of great models. I have to say that I've already built about half of them though.
Great link! Thanks for posting that.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Re: Weird and Wild Model kits
All great thoughts about building style—from Mustang, Stik and Duke! Personally I would build the Rod on a similar platform to Tamiya-Trumpeter’s 8-ton halfttack, with a super sexy diesel Maybach—it’s such a great concept because there is no one way/wrong way!
