Hi Forum,

I need a somewhat accurate KMT-4 for my IDF PUMA.

I have the Academy KMT-4, however the teeth on the rollers are poorly defined, a friend has also given me the Trumpeter KMT-5 parts. The teeth are better defined on the Trumpeter set, but the -5 only has (3) rollers per side where the -4 has (4).

I need extra Trumpeter KMT-5 rollers, and can someone confirm the set I have is from the Trumpeter kit (since I don't have the original box).

A bonus would be if anyone would want to part with the -5 rollers!

Thanks for any help.

Ryan

Why not just use the KMT-5 parts where they are more vissible and use the KMT-4 parts where they are less visible?

Thanks for responding.

The -4 has more rollers than the -5, so you would need (2) -5 sets to make the conversion.

Your idea of using the -5 parts and adding an extra -4 roller is not bad, but the -4 rollers are really bad and very visible.
