I will wait for your review.

I like it. It's a really nice mod. What's the point, though? There are a lot of modelers who would like to get this; but, you can't find a DML 3536 if your life depended on it. By the time DML decides to make another limited rerelease, Blast will probably have discontinued this set because of low sales volume due to the fact that nobody has the kit to use it on. This is akin to being placed in a round room and told to crap in a corner.

I took the plunge and even found the SEP kit to go with it. Gives me something to look forward to since it should be there by the time I get back from vacation!

Eric, deal. PM me your PP address

Hi! As far as getting DRAGON #3535s and #3536s go, you have to check on evilBay every day. It may take you a year, but you'll find them eventually. It took me about 2 years to finally find an HO Brass New York, Ontario & Western Rwy Y-2 Class 4-8-2 Steam Locomotive. The DRAGON #3535s and #3536s are certainly more plentiful than that brass loco. I bought 2 #3535s and 2 #3536s not long ago on evilBay...

Hi all I like the Dragon kit that's why I picked up 7 of each in the last round of re release but realy if you can use the Tamiya Tusk parts on the Dragon kit then it shouldn't be a drama to use the Blast kit on the Tamiya kit I thought they would have made it universal or at least said it can be used on both brands Cheers Ben.

You could probably use this set on a Tamiya kit; but, not everybody is crazy about it. Qualitywise, the difference between the DML and Tamiya kits is like the difference between a Caddy and a Buick. I've squirreled away enough 3535's and 3536's to keep me busy for a long while. I was referring to other modelers who weren't able to spend lots of time on the net hunting these kits down. It'd be nice if the kit and AM manufacturers were in sync. Both could benefit from a closer collaborative relationship.

That means mine should be coming any day too. I ordered on the 8th

Is it possible that the conversion can be added on an M1A2? Meaning are there any visual external differences between M1A2 and M1A2 SEP?

Order the Tamiya turret parts from Tamiya, much cheaper than a full kit. The hull modifications can be done easily, sand off the left-rear fuel cap and the rest is all sheet styrene work. There is other minor stuff, handles, vents etc. I did it with their first M1A2 kit. I’ll try and post a pic after work but it’s not that difficult
