  1. @ElectroSoldier As posted above, the BUFF master set BMR 72005 has the tanks to convert the Monogram kit.
  2. Distortion maybe, but it was also aligned on the mat to compensate. Nevertheless, I rummaged through the boxes again and compared the tanks more closely, the BUFF Master tank is not a direct copy of the AMT tank (blue outline and below) nor of Golden Dragon's. . AMT's tank: diameter 12 mm, lenght of tank is 93 mm with a mid section that appears cylindrical for approx 40 mm (on your picture 2" line to 3.5" line) BMR 72005 tank: diameter 11.2 mm - length is 87.5 mm Also, BMR's tank has different panel lines, a different silhouette of the tip and o

  7. The heavies GB got me I have both, AMTs B-52H and Monograms B-52D kit... First look I´d prefer to convert the good ol' Monogram kit instead of going straight on with AMT. What's your opinion?
