LF 1/35 parts
« on: January 18, 2025, 11:21:25 PM »
I would like to make this M1A2. It has a loader’s gun shield different from the typical one seen and ERA blocks hanging from the side skirts.


I am looking for the gun shield which is specific to the MCTAGS turret. Would anyone have a trashed Live Resin or Legend MCTAGS that they would be willing to trade the gun shield parts?



The MCTAGS is also on the Trumpeter Mk.23 MTVR w/Armor Protection kit. I already tried Trumpeter customer service and they don’t have these parts in stock. Again, if anyone has a trashed kit or left over parts and willing to trade the gun shield parts we could work something out.


The Trumpeter parts are, K22, K23, K35, K40, K51, M6 x 2, M10 x 2, PE-A1 and PE-A3


The ERA is similar to the ones in the Meng M3A3 kit that go on the glacis. Again, if anyone has a trashed kit or left over parts, I would like to trade for them. The part I am looking for is part X27. It has five ERA blocks across which is how it is on the M1A2 above so I could cut the Meng parts to fit.



Thanks for any help you can provide. I am located in the USA.

Looks like a local field mod from whatever could be scrounged up. I like the green replacement parts too. This will build up nicely. I wish I could help with the parts. If someone had the Bradley kit maybe they or someone else could cast up some spares.

Yes, I picked this one because of the different gun shield, additional ERA hanging from the side skirts and the green replacement panels. Definitely makes for an interesting build. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the parts I listed in my spares bin so I am pleading to the modeling gods to either make aftermarket parts of if anyone has a large junk pile with those parts in them to spare.
