Land / Re: M41 Walker ''Bulldog'' Light Tank
« Last post by Story on Yesterday at 10:03:15 AM »Anybody know about the diesel engine installation on IIRC the Danish rebuilds? I wondering what the engine deck and rear look like. I’ve wondered if a 1/48th M-60 engine deck would fit.

Accurate Armor use to offer a conversion https://www.hlj.com/1-35-scale-danish-m41-dk1-walker-bulldog-conversion-acmc088

Tamiya deck and resin Panhard turret for scale. Looks like the OEM engine deck is the same as the diesel conversion above, which makes sense.

« Last post by Story on Yesterday at 09:55:09 AM »It just occurred to me the TS-90 turret of the Panhard ERC-90 might be a good fit as well
Way back in this thread I have a mockup with a Bradley turret and a LAV-150 Commando turret and Cockerill 90mm gun, so that may work.
I think I've got some resin Panhard Turrets (and hulls) that'd be good starting points.

Hear me out - what if this ship's mission was to create an LZ for landing firefighting equipment?
It hovers and starts a back-burn, pops up to observe and then dumps it's water load on the LZ prior to the Smoke Jumpers and/or gear being landed by other means?

« Last post by smeds on Yesterday at 04:06:05 AM »Damn! Ten days from Cat.5 Incident to more advanced replacement!
Certainly looks at least as good, I would suggest a touch better!
Thanks Wombat, I'm a lot happier with this one.
