Since the AM part for the engine of the Trump M1A1HA is quite inaccurate, I decided to scratchbuilt it on my own. So anyone got pics of it in all or most angles?

BTW, what material should I replicate the wire meshes on the kit? They don't look realistic.

Ahhh! Links bookmarked . BTW, is that Brad engine applicable to all sorts? I heard that the newer Brads had the engine replace/upgraded.

Whoa! I think it is confirmed that you have the AMS SR. Good luck on your build. The guys here are a big help. Best regards.

Older Brads use a 500hp engine, newer ones have a 600hp engine. The engine on the stand in my site is a 600hp engine used in A2 brads and beyond.

Could anyone of you give me the dimensions of the engine? I can't scratchbuilt it until I know how long the entire engine was, how high and the width of it. Thanks!
