Build review of Takom's Object 279 - just click on image below to go to it.



Still think it would look appropriate as some sort of Sci-fi vehicle.

Yeah, the NBC trooper is very cool. I wanted to get one of the 1/72 double kits, but I seem to have missed the boat on that one. It is out of stock/discontinued everywhere I've looked.

That T-55AD Drozd is great news. I was looking at the MiniArm conversion set and was way too expensive.

The Modelling News reports - LINK! - that TAKOM is set to release a 1/35 M103 series.



Woohoo!  :icon_beer: After Dragon dropped the ball, I was puzzled that Trumpeter didn't do one. Now that TAKOM will have one, I expect Trumpeter won't be far behind.



Really looking forward to these.
Have a plan for an updated M103 in Bundewehr service with a salad of numbers and letters. M103A2GA2xyz. Updated FCS (as on Leo1A5), some German additions like commander's cupola, MG3, smoke dischargers, Leo 1A5-style add-on armour,....
Not sold on heavy side skirts, though, as I quite like the look of the open running gear.
Want to do something similar to an M60.

Nice! 
I made the mistake of purchasing the DML/Dragon Black Label M103A1 and found the kit to be a bit disappointing.  Your what-if Bundeswehr M103A2GA2xyz sounds like a an excellent project.  Top loading air cleaners are certainly a must plus the laser range finder to replace the stereoscopic range finder are two of the things I want to add to my M103A3 (RISE-Passive).

I would like to see the M103 around in someone's service long enough for Operation Desert Storm with the whole ODS gazoo.  You know, skirts, smoke grenades by the score, maybe some reactive armor.  Can't figure out who'd have it.  Maybe Syria?

I will commit to two M103A2 as long as the price is tolerable...

M103A3 (RISE-Passive) sounds good!  :smiley:
With a dozer blade, perhaps? Re-creating that iconic Desert Storm pic?

I have a couple of the Academy M9 Bulldozer Blade Kits that were available for a few years as a separate purchase item so a blade tank is a definite option. 
Also tempted to upgrade the main gun as well to the 120mm/L55 as used on the Leopard 2A6 and 2A7.  Add on a CITV and be rid of the White/IR light.
