Hi Tom;

The only one I can think of is Model Point, they mite make one. And you mite have too order one from Eastern Europe, you mite also try the Barrel Depot, Soga Miniatures, Model35RU. With A lil-lite careful sanding the kits barrel should be fine, which PT-76 do you have ?

GOOD LUCK; MIKE.

I had assumed only Trumpeter made the PT-76 (I'm doing the B version.)

Hi Guys;

Thanks Juhasz; Yes I knew I could count on you for the info. The PT-76 was also made by Eastern Express, and I have both the Trumpy, and the EE, IMHO the EE kit is a Better kit. When I built my kit I also had the PE set which made it a lot better. The Trumpeter kit was a Real Pain and I was real Dissapointed, The Suspension was a Royal Pain. In the End, I went out a got another EE kit.

CHEERS; MIKE.
