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

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.

It just occurred to me the TS-90 turret of the Panhard ERC-90 might be a good fit as well

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.

Found this

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?

Damn! Ten days from Cat.5 Incident to more advanced replacement! :icon_surprised:

Certainly looks at least as good, I would suggest a touch better! :smiley:

Thanks Wombat, I'm a lot happier with this one.

Hello friends,
and now with Aerials from Leopardclub/ leopardworkshop

Nice touch, Didi  :smiley:

A minor note - skinny electrical tape wouldn't be the first choice for attaching the glow-stick water bottles. More commonly, 4-inch plastic tape was used. Tape colours were usually OD, grey, or blue (3M #471 - same colour as the bottle caps used to hold in the IR sticks).

2nd attached image: Leo 2A6M, tape colour may be silver?
