Wow this looks excellent. Gotta get this as I’m sure many others will want it too.

Just checked their website, it list’s for $26.18 which is a great price. But shipping to the US is $20 from Australia.

I’m not at all sure. The Meng kit TS-032 is mentioned and one of the other Dragon kits as well.

I have always fancied having a go at the Aussie ‘scales’ camo…

Great news. Are decals included? Also interested in whether kit 3535 can be used as have this in the stash.

Just remember that is the Au$ postage, that works out to about US$13 which isn’t too bad.

Hi Blacksad,
We used the M1A2 SEP kit because it has the right USMC style folding bustle rack extension
The rear hull is different in the kit so we have included a small resin part to fill.
This kit also has the correct open guide horned T-158LL tracks.

No Decals are included however another Australian company Custom Hobby Decals make M1A1 decals.

Yup I went back and purchased the conversion set. Very reasonable price for what you get.

I received my conversion; the parts are warped ! :rage: Hot water and smooth bending will probably do the trick but for the price asked and the print quality it’s sad to open the box and have damaged parts.

Got mine last week and none of my parts are warped except the .50 cal barrel but only slight at that. The rest of the castings look perfect.
