A while back, someone was asking about a M88 Hercules. Well, I have this one about 80% complete. It was the Real Models conversion kit. What I mean by "it was," I only used the boom, front winch, side skirts, and a couple of other little pieces.
The conversion kit hull was on piece with the side armor molded on. It would not fit right unless you put a lot of work in the clean up. So all I did was make templates of the armor and cut some new armor out of plastc sheet.

Any questions are welcomed.
