Hi Guys,

What is the better T55 engine kit the CMK or Verlinden?? As I have seen the Verlinden for about $25

Also were can I get some good soviet infantry weapons for Libyan freedom fighters? I have on old ICM astan & newish masterbook set & while with tweaking & new heads the figures may look alright the weapons & equipment are rubbish IMH opinon

Any help would be greatly apprecaited

Hi Mike

Can't help you with the T-55 engine, but you can take a look at Tank stuff for weapons and equipment :
