I got a 1/35 tamiya AAVP7A1 from my LHS and I'm getting the HFN051 USMC AAV7 EAAK Conversion.Do I need this set HFN053 AAV7A VV/Mountaing Harrdware EAAK for the EAAK to work.I'm wondering if I have to get both kits.

I'm also getting the HFN057 AAVP7A1 Interior. I would appreciate if anyone has any good web sites or pictures of the interior so I can do some super-detailing if I can.

Happy Modeling

I would highly recommend the book from Hard Corps Models "Modern American Amtracs", if you can find it that is...

Cheers,

No, you don't need both sets. They can't really be put on at the same time anyways. The Mounting hardware set is to show all the attachment points when the EAAK is not mounted on the AAVP. The set you have is fine.

I have both the EEAK & hardware mount kits, so I be looking forward to this
I'd love to see the interior built
there is a ton of builds & wip on the finescale forums, i'll lookup some links tomorrow

Hobbyboss are bringing out 2 new AAVP7's inc the eeak, but i'm not holding my breath on deliveries yet...
