Hello!

I have an old M-109A1/A2 and I´d like to convert it to an M-992 FAASV. I know that must have some aftermarket resin set for this over there, but I´d like to do it using my scratch skills (poor skills, I must say).

Does enybody has any good plan of this model? Any chances I get to the point or is this useless?

I found good plans on Google, but the link didn´t work here for me... just the Google thumbnails worked

Well any help is appreciated!!

Bye,

Marcelo

Unfortunately there is no AM conversion for an M992 FAASV. I have some plans though. I plan to convert one as well.

Email sent on it.

Well Gino, so the way is the scratch conversion.

I always would like to build one and now, with my M109A6 in hand, I´ll face the challenge.

I got your mail, thanks. I´m downloading some technincal manuals in pdf that may be usefull.

By the way, it´s a good suggestion to AM guys arround the world! What a bout a M992 FAASV conversion?

Bye,

Marcelo

Hi Marcelo

In fact, a resin M992 full kit had been released by Nimix some times ago but it's now OOP. AFAIK, it was not a very accurate replica....

There are some basic drawings on Webshots :

Maybe you should start with a 1/87 model :

Roco-Minitank M992


Good luck with your project !

I've got one of the Nimix offerings, bought this summer for 12 € as a bargain, and is a bad bunch of resin.

It's a full kit with interior, and some parts badly coppied from the Italeri M109 kit.

I was looking for some information too, and I found some bad line drawing plus a little amount of photos, I hope you have better luck

Hola Alvaro!

I´ll send you later what I found, ok? There are some very good technical manuals on the web, in pdf, and I can send you too.

Well, it´s a big project, but first let´s get the most material we can!

Hello Henri!

I didn´t know this resin kit. Well, but as this one is dificult to me to get, I´ll try the scratch.

Bye,

Marcelo

Marcelo and Gino,

Could either of you list the proper TM's that would help in getting proper info on the FAASV?

I may be able to convince someone to do a conversion, possibly, but I have to do the research...

Great, Jaques!!

Here the TM I found on the web with some usefull data:

058591
058990
072112
072533
073442

If you like, I can send you all the pics and material I found surfing the web. Anything, send me an e-mail ([email protected])

Bye,

Marcelo

Thanks Marcelo...I can look the TM's up on the web, just needed to know the specifics. Now, once I have enough info, to see what to do next...

Hi Marcello,

Have a look at the following site:
http://www.inetres.com/gp/military/cv/eng/M992.html

I've used this one to build my M-992 Faasv about 85-90 % is accurate.
It took me a lot of work and efforts and A LOT OF SWEAT !!!

Thanks for that link...very nice info all in one place.

Hi Gé!

Thanks for the link, but unfortunately it don´t open to me! I realy don´t know why.

Could you please send me the usefull material to my email?

[email protected]

If you could, I´d realy appreciate that!

Thanks,

Marcelo
