Can the AFV Club M 88AI be used for the Nam Version?

About covers it all.

Thanks again.
Will try to limit to one question a day.
Been out of 1/35 scale for 6 years until end of last yaer so behind the 8 ball on that. Now if you want to know about 1/6 scale well I might be able to help.

Cheers

Jeff

No, the A1 version is post Vietnam. It was fielded in 1977. AFV Club does a Vietnam version though as the M88 (AF35011).

Thanks Gino, I guess the new one coming out is totally out of the question then.

Well I was looking around on the web, for something, and low and behold a picture came up that said M88A1 in Nam picking a turret off of a Sheridan.I bet the pic wrong as I can't really see any difference in the M88.Me thinks that AFV Club does not make the Nam version no more.
