Hi guys!

I'm looking for a model kit for the Olifant MBT. I know this is a tall order but I thought what the heck.
Do you guys know of anybody who makes kits of these SA giants?

TIA

Hi Quintin,

There is no "pure" Olifant kit. There was however a Mk1b resin conversion set for Tamiya's 1/35 Centurion Mk 5. The conversion kit was produced by Red Carpet, but IIRC they are no longer producing the kit (& the mould are tired) - although rumour is someone found one at The Aviation Shop.

If you don't find one there, email me and I'll give you the name of the person I was in contact with about the conversion kit...

If you find one, let us all know... I for one will definitely take one or two!!

Rudi
