Land / Re: M41 Walker ''Bulldog'' Light Tank
« Last post by ChalkLine on Today at 06:20:31 PM »I've currently got one in my 'to-do' box along with new tracks (which is packed because I have to move AGAIN) and I'm tossing up doing the following for my 2000AD post WW3 builds:
- M41 w/ M103 105 mm Howitzer from the Spanish M108 SPGs. This will be done up as a direct support SPG for dealing with bunkers and applique armour in Spanish NATO livery.
- M41 w/ scratch-built Thyssen-Henschel 'Tanque Argentino Mediano' turret in West German* livery. Either Bundeswehr or Bundesgrenzschutz. I'm a bit unsure about this because the 105mm L7A3 cannon is four times heavier than the M32A1 76mm gun and I'm not sure if the chassis would stand the firing shock.
- Something else my fevered imagination comes up with.
(*I know, but in this scenario there's still a West Germany)

« Last post by elmayerle on Today at 03:48:02 PM »I have vac-form fuselages for the TF-86, F-86D, and CA-27. I am tempted to splice together bits from these to do a Sabre Dingo fuselage. One apporach I was tempted to use is use RTV to clone these, cast copies, and cut and splice those to do a Sabre Dingo fuselage.

Did it on a Takom Mk1 build, it takes some time, but looks really good.
on the link business. You might find some browsers baulk at http because it is considered insecure (needs to be https) and perhaps the browser settings may inhibit access.
