Hi John

The Famo is on my 'must build' list of kits. With the trailer in tow this is going tot be a big model!

Best of luck with it I'll try to keep up with the progress.

All the best

Thank's Paul,

I will try to get some of the extra's for the Famo befor i start the build I have the Tank Recovery set by Tamiya & i have found other sites whitch sell add-on's for the Famo but they say it's for Trumpter/Dragon kits & i dont know if it will fit the TAMIYA kit's.

Any suggestion's.

Always fancied one myself as well but never found one at a price I could afford (when I had some money that is!). Looking forward to seeing this one built.

Hi John

Extras for the Famo...

My first thought would be fuel cans/drums and tools. Tamiya (and a couple of other manufacturers) do a set of jerry cans and drums. Eduard or Aber (can't remember which) do a set of tools and tool box.

If the extras you've seen are canvases for Famo - these can be made from 2 parts putty rolled thin.

But aren't you going to put something on the trailer - Tank, Assault Gun, crashed aircraft fuselage?

Anyway, looks like you're going to be busy over the coming weeks/months!

All the best

Thanks paul'

i was thinking more on the lines of better detale for the FAMO as i have oil drums & jerry cans, as for the canvas i have got some old wing covering left over from a 4' foot R/C Mozzy i built some years ago thought i might try that.

This is what is going on the trailer.

Eduard set 35383 On site at a discounted price of $12.95 but shop around, postage is a bit high from them....ask me how I know :-/

If you built that in an hour, I have a question: What are you going to do in the weekend, 'cause this will be done by then!!! lol

[Guest]

Well it might take me an hour just to do the tracks (47 links per track + 2 parts per link = 188 parts) yep about an hour, lol

[Guest]

Had a little play to-day & got a bit more done.

Hi John, As far as extras go have a loook at my Fano build on the trucks in this forum, I used jerry cans, oil drums, as well as boxes and cardboard ration boxes. You can also if you want to spend a little extra purchase some 1/35 Fruil model metal tracks for the Famo. I do not know if Jon stocks them in his shop but you can certainly find most if not all at Panther Models Panther Models Online Store - 1/35 Military Modelling - Military Model Kits

Hope it helps

[Guest]

Thanks Andy,

Had a look but all i could find was the tracks for a 7/8 ton halftrack & i dont know if they would fit.

[Guest]

Well made the tracks to-day very simple to make & work well and look good, got some left over so i can put them in the Famo.
