A question for the Armour guys...
I've just weakened and purchased an M88A1 recovery vehicle kit to go with my desert rescue builds. It's the Gomix/Fly Model kit and as far as I can see after some extensive searching, there doesn't appear to be a laser cut track set available for this kit. I'm going to scratchbuild/upgrade this kit to M88A2 specs, as far as I can tell, the tracks were the same throughout the 3 variants of the M88.
The M88 itself is based on the running gear of the M60 series of tanks (M48A2 I believe), I'm wondering if maybe there would be a laser cut track set out there for another kit that might fit this M88 model, or something I could adapt to fit. I would like to avoid having to cut out all those track parts if I can. I've checked a couple of sites, drafmodel, gpm and can't see anything that resembles these tracks so if anyone can help suggest another site or a specific tank model that might have the same tracks I'd appreciate it. Also, if anyone reading this owns this kit, could you show me some pics of the track parts please? I've found a build thread of the model and his tracks look good, I'm just wondering what the parts sheets look like. I'd also like to see more build threads of the kit if you know of any. Thanks. |

I'll try to zap a few pictures for you this evening.
This one is hand drawn, and I'm not sure how accurate the colors are. I suspect a challenging build. Haven't built mine yet and have had it for about ten years in my pile. greg

Thanks Greg.
Colours aren't an issue, I'll be painting it in desert tan to match the rest of the convoy. I've seen a few pics of the built model, it does look challenging but I think the main challenge will be building everything else in the queue without any further distractions... |

To anyone following this thread other than Jaffro, I will post pictures on Monday. Uploading from my phone takes too long.
Already sent him pics through Facebook messenger. Greg
