Great start to some new M577 update and conversions. I expect this is only the beginning for Legend with the M577 conversions.

The Fitter conversion is a great M113 conversion addition!

While the M557 detail set looks nice, it doesn't seem to give anything new over the kit parts. I would really like an M577A2/A3 or M1068A3 conversion and/or a full M577A2/A3 or M1068A3 interior. Those would be nice sets.

I am really pleased to see these offerings coming to market, but my concern is that the base kits are getting harder to find especially the Fitter.

I wonder why they work with the obsolete Tamiya and Academy kits?

Not sure, but perhaps Legend started making the conversions before the new AFV Club kits were available?

The M577 is still around
the IDF Fitter conversion only needs an M113 A3 or A2 and since it seems to contain all the fitter parts.
The M113 A3 can be had as Academy 13211

Baby steps...I'm confident there will be more conversions in the future.
