Paul Brickles Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Hi Tom Check out my build here This was the Dragon kit with add ons. Just remember you have to alter the tracks to suit. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charley420 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 cheers paul, can you elaborate a bit on altering the tracks please? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Brickles Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Hi Charley, No problem at all Not sure the type of tracks in the Revell kit but the Dragon Version is of course US version. I amended them to the British Type using the AFV Big Foot tracks which have the separate rubber pads. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Brickles Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hi Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Looks like the Revell tracks are the early version used in the US. If you look at my link on Milmod above you will see the differences in the track pad shape etc as used on late US and Brit versions of the MLRS. You can get the tracks here HTH Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Kolsteeg Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 The tracks included in the Revell MARS kit are the Nato style Diehl tracks as used by the German forces as seen in the photos below: More German MARS photos here: http://www.panzer-modell.de/referenz/in_detail/mars/mars.htm The British M270 MLRS runs on the later US style tracks like the AFV Club "Big Foot" tracks as can be seen here: More British M270 MLRS photos, including shots of the basket and other modifications, on Prime Portal here: http://www.primeportal.net/artillery/m270_mlrs.htm Gr, Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
