Is this truck kitted by anyone or any conversion parts for the M1152?

Thanks,

Chris

I think Real Model has the shelter.  The rest you would have to scratch-build or convert from other parts.

Great, thanks. I'm taking over a BIDS platoon so I figured I might as well add one to my shelf of equipment I've owned.

Looking at your review, I can see there would be some mods needed on the shelter as the sides come down into the rear door well plus hangs over the back about a foot. It might be easier to scratch the shelter from card stock.

Hello!

Now that sure is an exotic piece of equipment! Good luck with building it

Disregard my review, just after I posted it, I realized the PSM one is the older S250 shelter, which is not correct for what you need.  I believe Real Model makes the correct, modern shelter.

Checked their site, is this the one you're refering to? Looks like it will work as a base to start with. Thanks for the info.
