Aloha everyone!!!

For anyone out there familiar with both the Meng and Tiger offerings of the AMX-30 do you happen to know if the side skirts off the Meng kit would fit the Tiger kit? Don't want to spend the money on the Meng kit only to find it doesn't fit-doh!!!

Thank you in advance!!

Kurt

I can't answer your precise question but I have one for you. Why do you bother about side skirts on a Brennus? It was not fitted with any kind of skirts.

Very rare but not unknown:

I guess the one above may have been a prototype/demonstrator...

You're right Andy.
This is an early Brennus with the initial track type. I don't remember any Brennus with the skirts since the introduction of the late track type.
I guess the "duck bills" are the reason for this.

Olivier

Yes, think so.

Yup, I've never seen an in service one with sideskirt fitted, likely due to the track width as you say.

Andy

Thank you everyone for your input. Guess I should've stated at the outset that I'm working on a "what if" project and didn't know that the Brennus had later wider tracks making it not feasible for side skirts in the first place. Thank you again, and thank you for saving me money
