That sort of goes to my question. Has anyone tried it? If so which version? How was it done? Looks like there's some possibility of using the Marder body as a starting point but I wnated to know if it had been done yet.

CV90

Post by chrisswim »

Paul/AV8,
which cv 90 version are you looking for? I have CV9030 & CV9040, well close enough. ASCOD, I haven't tried yet. I'll email you an idea or two.

Dave,

I agree with you... but I thought I might be the only person who thought so.

Regards,
Tom

I disagree with the idea of letting this thread drop off. The 'Show us yer stuff' thread is not really the same thing. Some of us spend a lot of the limited time we have converting production models into more obscure units. (Pictures of my various TPz-1 Fuchs conversions tonight I hope) Its important to maintain the tips and techniques captured here. Mt two cents.

I guess I'm partly to blame here. I need to get around to taking some more pics and getting them posted. I'm currently working on more scratchbuilt 1/2400 ships.
