Hi Pete, I bought that wrecker kit from Real Model www.realmodel.cz.

Other options are HobbyLink Vietnams’ excellent M543 wrecker conversion kit coupled with a 3D printed hood with engine side panels and grille built onto AFV Club’s M542*. The Hood sets are available from MikeyBugs who posts on this site or from Real Model.

You might be able to get the RM M816 in that earlier post or the HobbyLink M543 conversion set from Wanamaker Hobbies in the YewEssAy. He bought/swapped that actual RM kit from me early this year.

All the best!

  • PS I’m putting an M813 together on another thread on this site if you’re interested.
