Does anyone know of a company that makes the Ersatz M-10 German tank in 1/35 besides the add-on resin kit made by Accurate Armour?? Or, will be making it in the future?? I want to build that but I can't see paying for the kit and another $25-30.00 for the conversion.

no the only thing available is the AA kit, and you might want to order it direct from their site. I've gotten better response time buying direct from them, and the support has improved tenfold from AA. its worth the price.... good hunting stug

You can always try and do as the germans did ...build it yourself...It is quite an easy conversion ...get out some styrene and see if you can't do it ..It is all just flat pieces ,no curves to cut out ...Have a go at it before you fork over that well earned cash..The worst that can happen is you throw away a few sheets of styrene.

Hi PFC,

Somewhere in my archives I have an article that details the conversion using sheet styrene and other homebrew techniques. As I recall it was pretty complete, I'll try and dig it up for you. The author had included the drawings to make the add on armor plate to give it the ersatz look.

As soon as I find it, I'' post you a jingle
