I thought about doing the conversion without the Formations set, and yes you can do it yourself... I always thought the Formations set was overpriced but did not realize what all you get in it... Plus the detail is a zillion times better than the old Tamiya and Italeri stuff...
You get -
complete resin turret with all fittings and details
metal gun barrel and muzzle brake
all new hatches, periscopes, fittings, tools, detail parts for the hull
new set of pressed dished roadwheels
new headlights and appropriate MV lenses
photo etch
tow cable and ends
loud speaker
new accurate and detailed transmission cover
decals for Oddball's tank
good instructions (rare for resin)
Its for the older Tamiya M4A3 but basically all you use is the lower hull, upper hull shell, and the suspension units...
