      Hi John
      The Famo is on my 'must build' list of kits. With the trailer in tow this is going tot be a big model!
      Best of luck with it I'll try to keep up with the progress.
      All the best
      Paul

      Always fancied one myself as well but never found one at a price I could afford (when I had some money that is!). Looking forward to seeing this one built.

      Hi John
      Extras for the Famo...
      My first thought would be fuel cans/drums and tools. Tamiya (and a couple of other manufacturers) do a set of jerry cans and drums. Eduard or Aber (can't remember which) do a set of tools and tool box.
      If the extras you've seen are canvases for Famo - these can be made from 2 parts putty rolled thin.
      But aren't you going to put something on the trailer - Tank, Assault Gun, crashed aircraft fuselage?
      Anyway, looks like you're going to be busy over the coming weeks/months!
      All the best

      Thanks paul'
      i was thinking more on the lines of better detale for the FAMO as i have oil drums & jerry cans, as for the canvas i have got some old wing covering left over from a 4' foot R/C Mozzy i built some years ago thought i might try that.
      This is what is going on the trailer.

      Eduard set 35383 On site at a discounted price of $12.95 but shop around, postage is a bit high from them....ask me how I know :-/

      If you built that in an hour, I have a question: What are you going to do in the weekend, 'cause this will be done by then!!! lol
