Looking for some assistance folks -- can anyone tell me if the mine roller included in the Trumpeter M1132 is the same as the SPARK mine roller offered by Blast Models. They look very similar to me, but was hoping an expert could confirm or deny that for me.

Thanks,

Sean

They're both made by Pearson Engineering, but I believe the mounting hardware is different. I could be wrong about that. The roller itself should be relatively similar.

I know Blast makes some great stuff, but look for the SPARK from Legend soon.

Thanks, now to find some pictures of the mounting hardware then. I have a few of the overall set up, just to see what I can find for close ups.

Here's the HMMWV mount. But the Legend set will be for the M923/5.

Thank you Robert - those are perfect. Do you by chance have a hi-res version of those so I can blow up the details?

Hello Robert,

is it possible to use the Blast Spark Mine Roller or the coming Legend Spark for the Panda M-ATV Kit?
Is the Mount from the Humvee similar to the M-ATV ones?

Is there any chance that Legend will do a HMMWV set?

D'oh! Yes, pretty good chance! (Was wondering why I found a file full of measurements on it.)
