Oops, sorry, it’s an A1

Fixed the post title / Robin

Thank you!

Great link, thanks. I wonder if anyone has an add-on in the works (like maybe Legends?) of the US version......

Perfect Scale Modellbau (PSM) out of Germany already has the conversion set available. It was reviewed here on Armorama a couple years ago.

Dang, that’s a nice conversion

I remember that one Gino, but I was under the possibly mistaken impression that it was the German version and required some modification or something to be correct for US application. It really looks nice, but another "question" I guess, is how different the kit for the M48A3 would be....
I'll look at the original article, thanks.

It’s labeled as an A1 but it has the Chrysler cupola. What’s cool about this M48 is that the photos show how the Cupola MG Mount is stored on the brackets on the turret.

And there it is! Looks like no shipping to the US now, I'm still digging for a US retailer.

Yes, I was browsing the PSM site last week and saw that Gerard was not currently shipping to the US.

BTW, I have the completed M48A1 with the PSM dozer conversion, but am frustrated at posting images here. I had already built the Dragon kit when I received the PSM conversion, and thought "Hmmmm, shouldn't be too hard...." That's when I discovered that the lower front nose of the hull had to be cut away to fit the resin portion. Now I had to reverse-engineer the already built plastic kit, which, combined with the usually vague resin instructions, led to a few times where maybe this would look better thrown against a wall.

I found the MechMuseum site which had acquired the 1:1 version of the tank and dozer at Camp Pendleton and posted several images to their site. I later made a drive to that museum and was able to add a few more photos to help in determining parts placement on the conversion.

I also added some AFV Club tracks that an older M88 didn't need anymore. All in all, it's looks good when completed, but my journey was not one I would take again. Looking back, it would have been easier to purchase a fresh kit and start from there, rather than adapt the PSM resin to an already-built model.

God thing this is a hobby and not a business for me, I'd be starving by now!
