Hi guys

Should i choose the Verlinden or the legend Sherman Flail conversion ?

I got the Cyber hobby Sherman M4A4 value pack, can I use that one for a the Crab conversion ?

I used the Legend´s kit ...
In my case, the conversion kit was all twisted, but it was possible to repair ...

...and the old M4A4 Dragon kit was a host...

This is the all story: Is in Portuguese, but use Google´s translator and be my guest...
