Photo's Wanted

Burik

You said you had some info on a M88 from OIF, Please share it with us.

PS Did you build that Abrams from OIF displayed on A .50 Cal AMMO can, do you have any more photo's of it.

Thank you in advance.

The Hurcules is an M88A2. It is an upgraded M88 chasis, not built on an Abrams chasis.

The AEF kit is a conversion kit and you still need the AFV Club M88A1 kit to build an M88A2. I heave heard it is not a very good set. AEF is hit or miss on their quality. Pretty pricey too.

Looks like this:


A Google Image Search for M88A2 will give you lots of pics too.

Here is more info on it.

a dio with the statue would be interesting, yes?

yes.

was it an M88A1 or A2 ?

A USMC M88A2 took down the statue in Firdos Square, Baghdad, Iraq, 9 APR 03.  I believe it was from 3rd Tank Bn.

Not the best pic.

 

This one shows it better with the square boom of an M88A2.

 

Verlinden does the Saddam statue from the Firdos Square too.
