Out2gtcha Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Just now, RLWP said: Not with solid dampers they aren't I was more referring to them being a stack of actual leafs VS just a molded lump if resin or solid chunk of brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. My AMS loves those, my practical side says you can't see them behind the wheels BiggTim and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 True.........to a point. If you look at 1:1 M100s, you really can see a surprising amount of the leaf springs from the quarter views and rear, especially if you are looking at it from ground level (yes, slightly harder on a 32nd model, but still surprisingly more seen than one might think) BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Having had some experience w/Profimodeller stuff, these are little kits comprised of other smaller little kits, like in their Scheuch-Schlepper. Lots of little stuff to put together, but worth it in the end. Some scratch work may have to be done as well depending on how accurate PM gets with it. If they are doing a Willys MB/G503 or Ford GP Jeep, there may be some things they overlook possibly, but ANY Willys flat fender in 1/32nd is better than any options we currently have..............especially if they already have the M100 to go with it.

thierry laurent Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Good news! This confirms what I thought. However I am somewhat afraid of the probable price considering the Me163 tractor one... :-( BiggTim and Out2gtcha 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I am somewhat afraid of the probable price considering the Me163 tractor one... :-( True, my Scheuch-Schlepper and the Pressluftballonanhänger or Pressluftanhänger (balloon pedestal trailer for the 163) or the Anhänger (tracked trailer for the 163) like I have are quite pricey, but worth it IMHO. The M100 trailer is approx 1/2 the cost of the above 163 trailers as it looks significantly less complex, but the Jeep itself will likely be even more pricey than either of the 163 trailers above.

BiggTim Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Unless I did the conversion wrong, the trailer is about 28 bucks + shipping. Any one else want to check that? Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep buddy, I come close to that figure too: 739 Czech Koruna equals 33.29 United States Dollar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 To tell you the truth, in the grand scheme of things (AM specifically) I dont think thats too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 That's a tad stiff, but not too crazy. I expect the jeep would be triple that, though. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
