Does anyone remember a conversion awhile ago for a British engineering type vehicle? The base was a Dragon mlrs..turned into a recovery vehicle of sorts...just can't recall the nomenclature.

The rocket pod was removed, and tool boxes and poosibly a boom ws mounted on the rear.

Thanks for any help

Sorry to hear about Steve..a loss of a modeler is always terrible news.

That is the equipment I was thinking of. I had the wording incorrect during a search! Looks like a good use of a spare kit! The unusual always draws my attention! I may try one!

Thanks for the quick reply..everyone here is always very helpful!

I'm a bit jealous..all I've seen are the local farmers tending the corn fields!! The RRV looks like a interesting challenge
