Having seen them, I can totally agree Quendil! And two of them will be joining HMLS Primrose Hill in the near future - they will look awesome on the back of the landship. |

All of the above, I worked up some quick stats on these new ones - see separate thread for same. I'll also add them to the list of Ford Motor Company vehicles (Conqueror) soon. TY Conqueror. I need to square away some accounting with PayPal to get things rolling this fall.

I wonder if Conqueror will include the MG turret for the new truck - I don't see any listed separately. Also wondering if the 'legs' and rear wheels of the new 'wheelies' are metal so they can be splayed out a bit like the IC wheelers.

I am looking into a way of getting the MG turrets added - but trouble I have is that the MG Turrets are on one mould and the wheelies on another and I get charged for each sping of the mould, but have a few ideas and working with my caster.

Is there a chance that their 'standard' MG for tanks will fit that?? It looks the same.

Doh, again did not thnk of that and yes it will fit - images below show two options - one with the "lip" of the turret resting on the back of the recess on truck and one where I have cut away a small notch on the front of the turret to allow it to fit deeper and level with roof which I think looks better. cheers #madmorgan - problem solved as I suspect most people have the odd MG lying about from their tank sprues... Regards Andy    |

The new truck looks great and I've got lots of spare MG turrets - will be ordering soon!

Always glad to help - btw could you post a picture of the turret with the notch cut showing (outside of the truck) for those of us who want to do the same thing. I agree the flatter position looks better. But, somehow looks more vulnerable due to the 'hole'. Maybe I'll put a small piece of styrofoam or other material to simulate a plate front to it. Alternately, using pic #one, a small amount of some filler would make that look 'complete' as in armored as well.

I'd like to see what a Conqueror tank MG turret looks like in the truck. I prefer the second version with the IC plastic MG turret level with the roof. I'd glue layers of thin, flexible 0.5mm and/or 0.25mm sheet styrene around the turret below the cap to fill the space in the recess and add one of the IC Vickers style plastic HMGs.

ah yes the styrene would fit the bill, giving proper 'plating' to that gap. This would let it be level with out that gap. Good show!
