Indeed, otherwise you'd likely not have got the conversion.  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

1 x Airfix 1/35 Quickbuild Tiger I Plastic Brick Construction Toy (AXJ6041) - For my not-yet-four grandson, either his 4th birthday or Christmas
1 x Hobby Boss 1/35 Land Rover Defender 110 Hardtop (HB 82448) - Mostly for the correct-side-of-the-car dash, etc.
2 x Dynamo 1/35 Vietnam/WWII M55 Quad Machine Guns [2in1] (DY-35DM001) - I refuse to state whether these are for the RAMs PBR(s) until I test fit them &, if they are, it's all buzzbomb's fault!

This lot arrived yesterday but I only got to pick them up today.

The Dynamo M55 Quad Machine Guns kits are, actually, the Dragon Quad Gun Trailer M55 simply re-boxed with (very nicely) 3D-printed parts for the Vietnam version. The sprues even have the DML "dragon" logo tabs on them.

I've been tempted by the Dragon M55 quad gun trailer in the past but apart from the price which was never cheap here for what it was I always had the turret knocking around somewhere and if I wanted the trailer I'd wiffy one .
Even now ive still got a couple of em ..a AFV Club one and a Dragon one from the M16 halftrack..which I'm very slowly turning into the M15 Special which was modified in Australia in WW2 for the US to use against the Japanese.
I really should have a play with that again .
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

In the Strange Observations thread Kerick/Ken posted a link to a M24 Chaffee APC and that got me thinking as ya do and of course that lead to trouble 😀
I've got a old as Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog and as anyone who has built this knows ..the dinosaurs had only been extinct for a couple of years when this kit came out so it's conversion time .
A M41 APC is now in the design stage in my noggin..so I need tracks ..so I just brought a set of

AFV Clubs M48/M60 workable tracks for it and then had a stupidly good score..a set of Takom TAK2094 1/35 SP.EDTN MAUS TRACKS ..yep ..copy and pasted 😆  for a price of get this ..$1.95 NZ  :o  :o
What am I going to do with em..no ideas but for that price..yes please 🙂 🙂

Even I built an M41 Walker Bulldog!  :o

I had no idea what it was at the time, but my mate Derek wanted a tank kit in his shop window, so I built it. It wasn't a very big tank as I recall, but it sold more kits, that's for sure.
