Default RE: Just picked i[ a bandai hummel. Suggested upgrades?

Oh, so it's built. Well, I took a look at it and I don't think you got burnt. I want a HUMMEL and at that price they're okay, new kits go for big bucks too!

I was wanting a dust queen but not at those kit prices so I may go the conversion route and HL or Tamiya it... since I don't own a Tamiya PIV yet.


Those plastic tracks MUST be pinned, so you cannot run them as is. So, KK metal tracks and sprocket/idler gear are a must. If you want to ditch the plastic road and return wheels (they will not hold up with metal tracks) I can hook you up with an Elite Armor Aluminum set with bushing for cheap... still brand new?!! I bought them from BYA YEARS ago for my StuG, well of course never went that far.


Just email me after you've had a few, okay? (Drunk bidding)
