Title: 1/43rd Puma Conversion Question
Post by: JamesValentine on 11 March 2017, 01:34:36 PM

Hey all.
Picked this up at a toy fair for £2...

But she needs a more suitable turret...

Her hole is just a touch over 26mm and I'm thinking Leman Russ, Chimera, Predator or Razorback.
Measurement which will fit or cover this up? And which do you think will suit her more? I'm leaning towards Razorback.
Thoughts?

Hi James,

I have a pile of futuristic tank weapons and accessories lying in my bits box - plasma-style guns, double barrels, missiles radar dishes, small MG turrets.  Would you like me to drop some your way if you're thinking of a conversion?

Look for Bronekorpus online for the tanks they came from - each tank has all the options, so I have a ton of spares.

When I did something similar I kept the turret and added 40K weapons
