Hi all

Does anyone know if can get hold of a conversion kit for a Tamiya Sherman to turn it into an ARV Mk1? or failing this a kit to convert a Tamiya Cromwell into an ARV?

Any help will be useful.
Regards
Matt

I really don't know about the ARV Mk.I but Tank Workshop has a 48th scale M-32B-1 Sherman ARV conversion. I know as I did the Master for it. Try Jay's website and click the US Flag under his 1/48 scale section.

I've seen some scratch builds

CMK does a Sherman m32



Kengi does a M31 ARV (the Grant/Lee body)

Gasoline does a BARV quarter-kit.com

Thanks everyone for the help and info.

I knew about the M32 conversion kits but for the diorama i have in mind they wont be right. Think a scratch built sherman ARV MK1 or Cromwell ARV is going to be the easist option as their basically a sherman or cromwell hull with the turret ring plated over with tools and storage on the hull.

Here's my basic idea at the moment - http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205205978

Hopefully it should turn out well, the past couple of dio's i've attempted have'nt got off the ground work, lack of storage space etc got in the way :/ Fingers crossed for this one

Thanks again everyone
