I have just received the new castoff Models (Terry Beal) update/conversion kit for the Dragon Models (Black Box) Saladin model.
The only item that still needs replacing is the tripod ground mounting because the kit supplies a short *bipod* ? (heaven knows who was responsible for that horlicks)....
As you can see Terry supplies a Jerrican strapped into a correctly sized holder (you supply the small oil can that should be to the right of it).
A new exhaust muffler (barrel) with cover and wire guard on the rear and correct split opening.
Two antenna bases, a nicely detailed commanders periscope cover with Browning mount and open sight blades.
A .30 Cal. ammo box and holder as well as a new and correctly sized shovel
Next in the little bag is a commanders .30 Cal. machine gun with remote firing handle folded over the top cover, a turret mounted swing arm with barrel retaining clamp and mounting.
The rest of the kit includes two BCF. fire extinguishers, a 76 mm gun barrel with canvas and three detailed replacement hatches with really nice internal detail for the driver, commander and gunner/operators positions.
You WILL need to add a corresponding lip to the open hatch turret locations on the kit in order to have them placed in the open position.
My apologies for the poor quality photo but it's better than nothing.
Terry has been battling a few medical issues and is working as hard as he can to catch up with past due orders.
If you waiting for an order I ask that you be patient, you will get your item(s).
If you intend to order anything in the near future, email him for an update and time frame FIRST!
THAT WAY you WON'T be upset about the wait time.
Forewarned is forearmed gentlemen.
Happy modeling.
Keith.
