Nexusys,

Are these the instructions for the XM153 that you have the link posted to?

The instructions show a pretty well detailed piece, do you have ome?

Hi Barry,

No i dont have one.

The link that i posted basically the guy took the design from 1/35 Bronco XM153 and upscale to 1/16.

I tried to register myself to their online shopping, but they need Taiwanese ID as part of registration? anyway, no luck on that one mean theres no way i can that dude to ship it overseas.

The illustration is from this product Bronco XM153 i found from the net.

This site has quite a large photo of it: https://www.super-hobby.com/products/XM ... ws-II.html

You sure know how to confuse people. The thread is titled Heng Long M1A2. Now I see a Trumpeter kit for a M1A1 and a Tamiya full option kit for a M1A2 :crazy:
