There's no kit of the M936A2 (old 900 series wrecker) or even of the brand new (just got one this year) Stevens International FMTV M1089A1 5 ton wrecker. There isn't a kit of the M984E1 10 ton HEMTT wrecker either, although I do think there is a resin conversion set for use with the Italeri M977 or M978 HEMTT. Might be a conversion set for the Italeri M923A2 5 ton truck to convert it into the older style 5 ton wrecker.

Rob's right HOBBY FAN makes conversions (resin) for both. They are Expensive........

That's what I said, converts the Italeri M923A2 into an M936A2.

Has any of the regulars here ever built one of these conversion kits? I've never seen one finished before...
