just got this OOP kit, thanks to jason doing my shopping for me[;)] and i’m wondering if there is any aftermarket (PE and barrels) available for it. thanks
Barrel Depot makes a nice 90mm aluminum barrel with yellow metal muzzle brake (35039). The tracks need to be replaced by AFV Club #AF3505 (center guides are molded in the wrong place). Eduard may do a photo etched set for it. I have the one they do for the M48A5.
hey, thanks for the info rob!!! i will look into it…
rob, this is a different set number, do you know if they will work? also, i wonder if it one-piece links or multi-piece…

No, not for an M48A3. Those are the later style used on the M60A3, M48A5 and M60A1 RISE/Passive. If you are doing a Nam era M48A3, they need Af3505.
alright thanks… i’ll look for them… if i find them, i hope they are 1-piece indies instead of multi-piece…
Holy [censored]! barrel depot want 40 bucks for it… what, is there gold in it somewhere?
They are typical AFV Club and use end connectors to assemble the track. Not bad, they go together nicely. That Barrel Depot price has to be an error. I only paid $15 for mine.
Try here: http://www.thebarrelstore.com/ they list it for $11.20 Canadian
okay, thanks… not sure what i did, but i posted the link there to show you i wasn’t imaging things…[:D]

thanks again for your help
Dude, those are Hong Kong (HK) dollars. Use this site to translate the HKD to USD: http://www.xe.net/ucc/
You’ll find that $40 HKD=$5.12 USD, a pretty good price.
okay… i’m a little goofy [D)]
