I hope to eventually find one of these for sale on this side of the pond instead of having to deal with the cost of shipping from the UK.

« Last post by Story on May 07, 2024, 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
https://www.wargaming3d.com/product/danish-m41-dk/
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.

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, (read this https://www.wired.com/2015/08/flame-throwing-helicopter-fights-wildfires/ )
then 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?
