A few pics of the first kit (M163 Tamiya with verlinden conversion) I have started in 18 years and the first conversion ever. Seems I need a lot more practice.

Looks great so far! If I remember...the M163 Verlinden conversion is a bear!

Looks like it was parked in a bad section of the battlefield. Someone stole all the road wheels, all it needs now is gang style grafitti!

Seriously, it looks good. how's the Verlinden conversion working for your?

Hi Sabot

Thanks, it does look like the National Guard parked in the wrong area. The Verlinden conversion is great, the instruction are not. If you are going to use this conversion kit get a good reference first. I recently got Warmachines No9 (M113 / part2), since then the kit has been ‘disassembled’ and the items corrected. If I had the reference first, it would have been a breeze.
