Hello, I'd like to know if the Meng Bradley M3A3 comes with the power pack. Looking at Adam Phillips great M2A3 build story that kit has a really detailed pack in it.
I'm looking into building an MLRS with the cab tilted and the pack on show. With very little work the Bradley pack can be converted into a launcher pack.
Unfortunately, the M2 kit price is a bit steep for a donor kit! I was wondering if anyone who's opened the M3 kit can tell me if it's got the pack in it as this kit comes up about half the price of the M2!
Thanks, Martin

Hi Martin,
Meng will release or (actually has released) the interior incl.
engine for the M3A3 separtaly. So you have lots of spares for other projects.

As Hans has said, no, the M3A3 kit does not have an interior, nor engine in it. Meng has the complete interior (including engine) as a separate kit for about $25.
