Tamiya 1/35 M2 Bradley Corrected Hull Mounts, Shocks, and Sprockets

Description: SM35008b SAAMMODELS: Replacement Hull Suspension pieces for Tamiya Bradley kits: M2, M3, M2A2, and M2A2 ODS. These parts were created based on measurements and photos from a M2A2 ODS at Camp Ripley, MN. In this set you will receive 4 left/4 right suspension arm additions that Tamiya does not provide, 1 left/1 right final drive with corrected orientation/covers/detail/motorization hole fillers, 1 left/1 right idler mount with offset orientation for the torsion suspension, and 2 new drive sprockets. Suspension arm additions are included to give the illusion of the shock absorbers that should be there on the first, second, third, and sixth roadwheel arms.The Final Drive is completely redone to fit the Tamiya kit with correct orientation, shape, thickness, details, and motorization hole plugs. Idler mounts are MUCH IMPROVED over any other kit details and designed for the Tamiya kit. They include much better detail and are set up so the left side idler mount is further back than the right side (offset) just as on the real vehicle.And 2 NEW SPROCKETS. These are printed in 1-piece, correctly detailed, and shaped based on a lot of research, with non-mirrored inner and outer ring shapes. These are the first sprockets to correctly capture this. The sprockets have been tested for fit to the Tamiya rubber band tracks, MENG M2A3 kit tracks, Orochi/Kinetic M3A3 kit tracks, and AFV Club workable "Big Foot" track. Photos show MENG tracks (black) and AFV Club tracks (Brown) but they are NOT INCLUDED. The Tamiya rubber band tracks will work but the left side is a bit tight as they were not designed for the correct offset idler mount (The left side does not have the one extra track vs the right side), so be aware some work may need to be done to the track to ease the tension. These parts should also be compatible with any Tamiya clone kit from Academy, Hobby Craft, etc... These parts MAY work with the MENG and Orochi/Kinetic kits, but were not designed for them. See photos for details. Photos show parts mounted on a Tamiya M2A2 ODS kit (not included) with other model work done. See my saammodels youtube channel for details on how these parts fit and how to build the kit. These parts will be taken off of the printing supports for complete curing, but will require some sanding to remove the attachment nubs. These have been designed by me under my brand SAAMMODELS (I own the CAD files and STL files) and I print them on Elegoo Mars or Saturn printers. They are printed to order, so please allow 1-2 extra days after the order has been placed. These were designed to help me build my Tamiya M2 Bradley kits more accurately.
