Woohoo!  Gino's building an A2 Herc conversion!  Now somebody just HAS to kit it in 1/35 styrene!  That thing has been on my Wish List for decades now.

Hello Gino!

Now this is seriously COOL!

How come the hull is already camouflaged? Did you build your M88A1 before?

Good luck with the conversion and have a nice day!

Paweł

M88A2 ARV Conversion
Posted by HeavyArty on Wednesday, September 6, 2023 9:21 PM

I started on an M88A2. I bought a built AFV Club M88A1 at a swap meet a few years ago with the intention of using it and the Legend M88A2 Conversion set.

Here is the conversion set and a review of it at the old Armorama site.

So far I have added all the major plates that go onto the sides, front, and rear of the hull. I don’t know if I placed the side panels wrong (too far forward), but I had to add a 1/4 inch piece on both side between the front and rear side plates. They look to be right at the front and rear though.
