Just a simple question, does anyone have an M-42 Duster they would like to sell ?? Trying to locate one, but not having any luck.

Thanks in advance.

Apparently AFV Club of Taiwan will be releasing an M-42 Duster in 1/35 scale next year. I can hardly wait!

AFV Club's M42 Duster has been coming out next year for about the last 10 years. I wouldn't hold my breathe for it.

There is one of the old Tamiya kits on eBay though. With it, the AFV Club M41 road wheel set, and AFV's M41/42 track set, and lots of work, it can come out quite nicely. Good luck.

Lou,
How bad do you want a M42? Revell made one that was horrible compared to todays standard, but it is a M42.

LOL! I picked up one of those Revell kits off ebay. The drive sprocket doesn't have any teeth and is just a wheel! It was sealed but if I had seen the box art up close (Revell takes actual pictures of the real model) I could have saved myself a little cash. No wonder no one wanted it but it was under 12 bucks.

Revell's isn't worth mentioning. It was really bad and was something like 1/30 scale. It was originally an old Renwal kit from the early '70s. I would stay away from it.

They were also going to do a M52.



Sigh...

An M52. What I wouldn't give for an M52. I love that Pentomic Army stuff from the mid 50s.

M53s, M59s, M50s, M52s, M41s, M55s, & M75s. All very cool stuff.

I think I will stay with the tamiya kit, and forego on the revell if its that bad.
