I got all of the updates for the truck but I am thinking about a canvas cover for the truck bed to hide some of the seating meess ups.
I have tried to find one on the net but no luck .
Does anyone know if there is one or what can be used for it from some other kit. I seen a canvas for other M900 series trucks but not sure if it would be right for a OIF dio.
Thanks

Is the M-939 a longer cargo bed conversion? If so you could convert a couple of the M-923 kits cargo covers to make it the proper length. I f I am wrong here sorry about that. I think that I may have a couple of the kit covers laying around that could be used as donors if it is the case.

Well, M939 is designation of the whole family of trucks, which includes M923A1 and M925, so it is hard to say what Tom had in mind... I assume however, that Tom has M925 Italeri model. Their M923A1 kit had canvas cover included. Maybe it was not perfect, but not that bad either. So one idea is to find canvas parts from M923A1 Bigfoot kit. I have them, but in very poor shape after some experiments, so cannot offer them...

The M939 serie long wheel base cargo truck is named M927 (without winch) or M928 (with winch). There is one in my move it banner
For the canvas you can use paper with wood glue. You can also make one with miliput.
Cheers.

I am sorry for the confusion I think it's the 925A1 or 2 i just need something to cover up the warped seats mess I did in the truck bed.
I used the wheels from CMK and updated stuff from Eduard that I posted about in the past that use recommened.
I hope that is a better explaination for use. If anyone could help it would be great.
Thanks

If you added CMK wheels, then you made M925A2 of it (with some minor details not quite correct for this variant, but different wheels are most noticeable). Original kit was M925 "A nothing".
You should look for someone who built Italeri M923A1 BigFoot kit and not used canvas parts, which this kit included. I'm sure animal should have plenty of those

I have one, but if Animal have one it will be easier to send something from USA to USA.
I' am leaving in France p&p costs will be much higher.

I got one Pascal, and it will be mailed to Tom this week. Tom is just across the state from me.
