I have the Calibre 35 M31 Recovery Vehicle conv. to go with the Tamiya M3 Lee.
Can anyone help me with any tips, sites or references about this vehicle. Which is the best version to make and which units used it.
Cheers
Kevin

Here is an off-site review of the kit: PMMS M31Recovery Vehicle 1/35 Kit #35008 Review by Terry Ashley

I have a link to the actual vehicle somewhere...I'll try to post it later today when I find it.

Some of the mods are postwar, but it should help with the main assembly.

Hi,
