Hey all,

I've been looking at our AFKWX-353 at length today and I was wondering if anyone does a conversion for it in 48th? I'm looking for the hard-top cab.

Thanks!

Jon

masters productions have this soft & hard-top
2.5 TON 6X6 MODEL AFKWX33 15 FEET / STEEL CAB + CANVAS
CODE: MAS35039
available from Blast models, france.

Millicast also do it in 1/76th

for all things 1/48th try Parabellum, UK, no noticable search function, but 26 page pdf is available.
Send them an email, & if they don't know then it isn't available
Good luck

Thanks very much!

I didn't see an AFKWX on there, but worst case scenario, I'll bash some stuff together to make one. This is a longer-term build, so I'm in no rush. Currently cranking out an M26 Pershing over the weekend.

Jon, try the TRACK 48 online store. I know that Gasoline makes a nice hardtop cab and I remember seeing the 353 conversion somewhere, probably there, too.

Thanks Bob,

I looked through Track48 and didn't find anything. I know I've seen an AFKWX conversion listed somewhere and I can't find it now. It was listed on someone's 2007 new releases page, but I haven't been able to find it again!

Ooops, sorry Jon. Got my trucks mixed-up. I did some research on this on the -353 and didn't find too much with the exception of a couple of 35th and 72nd scale resin kits. Nothing in Quarter-Scale though.
