Hello,

I have the Dragon 1/35 MLRS NATO kit and I want to finish it with US markings. Does anyone know who might make these and where I can get them?

Thanks,

Rick

What tracks are included in Dragon's NATO MLRS kit? Are these the same as in their US version of the kit (link and length plastic tracks - the same style as LVTP7 and Bradley tracks with chevron shaped rubber blocks)? I ask because I have Revell of Germany kit of MARS (German version of MLRS) - this is the same reboxed Dragon kit, but it comes with Diehl type tracks (vinyl tracks - with dual rectangular rubber blocks). If Dragon's NATO MLRS also comes with these Diehl tracks, you will need to replace them with original US style tracks to make US version.

Unfortunately I don't have the US marking that I could offer...

Rgds,
Pawel

Rick,
Use dry transfers. Go to any of the units web sights and find the Field Artillary Units. Units sauch as 1st CAV, 4th ID - both at Ft. Hood, 3rd ID - Ft. Benning and Ft. Stewart, 1st Armored Div - Germany. You can get there unit numbers. Then take dry tansfer numbers and rub them down on clear decal paper and then place them like regular water slide. I usaually draw or paint in the little Armored triangle by hand.
