Hi guy’s,
Here are some photo’s of my new project.
It’s academy’s M-60 Blazer but with the reactive armor removed.
I replaced the barrel with one from Barrel Depot and instead of using the merkava tracks I got a set of AFC M-60 tracks.









The only problem with that is the parts for the drive sprocket for the merkava tracks are shown in the instructions but not how to assemble the parts for the M-60 track drive sprocket ,
anyone know where I could find out how to assemble them ??

Looks nice, but the drive wheel looks weird.

Janwillem,
Klaus doesn't mean the drive wheels, but the idler wheels. The front ones.. the do look as if they are not straight, although you probably would not see it when the tracks are in place.
Interesting take on the Blazer..

Groeten
Henk

Aha I see,
