Grey Stone World makes a nice replacement grille, Signifer makes workable front suspension, ModelKasten has workable tracks in their REGULAR (not SK) series, TWS has replacement wheels with several patterns (civilian, chains, etc). Of course, your firendly Eduard sets are available for it. One is general details and the other is ammunition lockers.

Eduard has sets for the 7/1 and 7/2 as well. None replace the armor with scale one, and the screens on the sides are incorrectly done. These were not so much mesh as a deep cross hatched strips which made for a rigid platform.

Eduard (and others) make PE sets for the gun systems used on the 7/1 and 7/2. Barrels are also available from several sources for the 2cm (I prefer Griffon Models) and 3.7cm (Aber/Armorscale is my preference).

There are also Friulmodelismo tracks but, after seeing the price difference with the K series ModelKasten I can't bring myself to pick it up.

YES, I am THAT frugal!!!

Cool list guys, James, I got an extra friul sproket if you want one, that I'll never use. One comes with the tracks. I am still wanting to get the MK wheels for it though.

John, that's a nice grill. :thumb:

got the Signifier front end. Can't find anywhere to get the grille though. Any one know of any magazine article/web build ups/accuratized builds?
