Great wear and tear you've created. Truly admirable.

Although I do not 'know' all the variations of MAK Fireball kits,I think I have spotted a few of your conversions.

Nicely done.

I really love the designs of these things and you've done it really nice. It's a pity I've never seen any in 28mm...

BTW Mak influences can be seen in many of the Alterra1 figures. With very little converting you can have them in 28mm!

Any chance of posting a good link to where you can get the larger scale MAKs from?
Thanks

Hello,

I am confused ???

So are all MAKs scaled at 1/35, but with a little work to the pilot they can be used with 28mm minis. Or do they come in different scales?

I have been inspired by the Red Shadow MAK in another thread and fancy having a go with MAKs for a couple of things.

Also is there a UK based supplier for them, I have looked at Ebay and all of the ones on it are being sent from Asia. So does anyone have any leads on reliable sources for MAKs for those in the UK they can share?

Thanks

Andrew

The ones shown with 28mm pilot conversions are all 1/35 originally.
There are larger 1/20 kits as well, but those are resin and more expensive.
