Forgive me, if this has been posted, before. I just thought, with all the US Cold War/'Nam kits coming out, one of you would appreciate this.

Saw that Alacran in a Tankograd book, and when I figure out some dimensions for the bucket arm there's an Esci kit waiting for conversion! Should be an interesting scratch-build...

Hi Tom
If you are interested in scratch building the Alacran this site should interest you. The guy is scratch building it with lots of photos.

Hi Tom
If you like to scratch build something smaller there is the Norwegian NM130 Armoured Recovery Vehicle based on an M-24 chassis.
