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.
