Re: vandra m7 conversion kits
Given the problems Michael had with his, you might be better off saving your money and scratch building, the Vandra kit was really very inaccurate. In the end he wound up buying the gun from shapeways - and that is the most difficult part.My scratchbuild :

Apart from the gun it's sheet styrene and the complicated bit is the front angles which you can prototype with cardboard.

Think you mean Canada. Buy direct from vandra. However I don't think they're making any more so be quick if you want one.wadsworthj wrote:Hi.

Re: vandra m7 conversion kits
I just sold the last one that I know of that was undamaged. Vandra had one left that had some very slight damage if they still have it ....

Re: vandra m7 conversion kits
Imperial modellbau, (long out of business), used to sell both Su-85 and Su-100 kits, but the mantlet on both of them was pitifully small, and the resin was pretty thick. The Trumpeter Su-100 kit 00915 has been out for awhile now, and you may be able to find a decent price on it if you shop around. It has all the detail you would want, and although it was not made to be converted to RC it can be done, (I have bought a Taigen chassis for mine, but not started trying to adapt it yet). Along with a full interior (which you won't be using) it has great external detail, and the solid-face roadwheels that you don't find on RC T-34's. You can fit bearing to these to work with whatever metal axles your chassis has. -Mikewadsworthj wrote:Many thanks for the replies, but I have been put off of it. so looking for a su100 conversion kit now for the t34 tank by heng long.
