Kiwikitbasher Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Heres my 1/72 Modelcollect M983. It came with a Pershing II missile and trailer/launcher but is not equipped with a crane, generators and has the wrong wheels for this role, so I built it as a stand-alone model. I have ordered a Modelcollect MAN M1001 tractor by Modelcollct which has the correct features to tow the Pershing II. My build log can be found on Missing LYnx using this link: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/missinglynx/group-build-2018-2-m983-hemtt-tractor-pershing-ii--t316567.html 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Nice one Mark, whats not to like about well executed heavy vehicles, especially of a military bent & ugly with it. Steve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Magnificent model Mark. It's a real shame that Modelcollect made such a pig's ear of their boxing.....That does seem to be the major price of trying to squeeze every last variant out of each set of moulds.

Kiwikitbasher Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Thanks, Sgt SH I should ask what your name is if you don't object to an ex-captain being that familiar with a SNCO! As it happens, Modelcolllect is sending me the crane, generator and Michelin XL tyred wheels from their MAN M1001 kit. I enquired if I could buy them to fix my M983 as a Pershing II prime-mover and they are sending them gratis! Top marks for customer service above and beyond I'd say. I have also ordered a MAN M1001 when I found you could buy it as the tractor only before Modelcollect confirmed, so I now have a couple of options, including other HEMTT conversion possibilities.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 It's Andy.....The 'Sgt.Squarehead' thing is an old gaming handle that stuck TBH. Pleased to hear MC have helped you out (and impressed by their response).....I look forward to seeing the finished model, it'll be an impressive piece. BTW - I'm a regular at ML so I do follow your stuff, I just don't post there anymore since Brett became neurotic about usernames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'day Andy, I don't know why Brett wants real names used on ML when usernames are fine on HyperScale. I assumed it was an ML community wish.
