That's a M149 Water Buffalo, a 400 gallon fresh water tank

Maybe it's the 4th or 5th such conversion on the market, after H&K, AEF Designs, FCM and Azimut (the H&K, FCM and Azimut were related).

I agree it's nice to see a new conversion available.

Cheers,

Christophe

Your friend did a very nice job !
Looks like I will have to get started with mine soon, the quality of the kit is outstanding and a big improvement over previous conversion kit in accuracy and ease to build.

Thanks, Joe. Do they usually accompany the M728 CEV?

Very nice job done on that one for certain. One question, did he paint on the reflective markers on the rear fenders or were they decals? If they were decals where can I get them?

Thank you

The right sized reflective marker decals are in Tamiya‘s M1A2 and Dragons M1a1 AIM kits.

A company named Truckline-decals used to have them, not sure if they still make‘em.

Hi guys,

I did my conversion some time ago with the help of an FCM conversion.
Painted it in the old Masster ( 7th Army ) camouflage.
For pictures click on my photos next to my profile !!

I'd say the M149 photo was mistakenly posted with the M728 photos.
