A2 Rebuild

[krink762]

Bought this of a very good customer of mine, have always wanted one and the stars aligned on this one. It started life as a USMC TOW model, it is uncut, but is transfering to the US Army 2 CAV, not going to be totally correct but will be clean and nice when finished, Titled as 72 m151, only numbers are on the data plate, luckly no rust repaired is needed

Why can't I see the pics

because they need to be hosted on the web at a site like photobucket

new at posting working on figuring it out, have posted on steel soldiers in 151 group under M151 2/2acr 82-84

[moose53]

no problem, i've never been able to figure out how to post on steel soldiers either... to post images here, you upload your pics to a web server like photobucket, then copy the img code from that site and paste it in the forum message here. the line you paste will look like [img]yourfilename[/img].

[krink762]

thanks, it won't be 100% correct on every nut and bolt but should be nice when it's done in a few weeks,
Got all the suspension out now hope to get it back in this weekend once some parts come back from the powder coater









New batteries, Deka 2HN, got from Battery mart http://www.batterymart.com , $105.00 each, they are local to me but I'm sure if you call them they could order and ship to you, they had to special order them for me, only took 3-4 days thou

Batteries will generally only be shipped dry and then it is up to you to find someone to fill them.

[krink762]

yes they get them dry, they filled and charged for me here local, so you'd have to fill them too, just thought I'd pass along the info on the price they had , much better using the 2HN's than trying to make some other size fit
