[HELP] Can't load kit geometries in 3ds max 9

[3===SPECTER===3]

Hey guys, I'm having trouble importing the kit geometries for the USMC and US Army in 3ds max 9. I'm using the POE2 tools which work for every other import, except for the kit geometries of the USMC, US Army, and British (oddly enough it works on German geometries, but haven't tried others). I've been able to load the geometries with BF2 meshview, but when trying to export from that, it breaks down the whole hierarchy and im left with the clump of kit geometries that cannot be seperated. I've searched and found very relevent threads, but in each thread the problem was never really resolved. If somebody has encountered this, and could give me a solution, or is kind enough to pm the geometries of the USMC and US Army in .3ds format, that'd be great (prefer the first option). Honestly I remember running into this same problems months ago and just literally giving up. Now it's come back to haunt me again and it's really bugging me that I can't find an answer. Any help is great, thanks in advance.

Sorry to bump this so soon, but I found a work around. I think that USA, US, and GER all have the same kit geometries just different textures. So if your like me and cant open either USA or US you should be able to open the German kits. Sorry for no real solution though. Chalk this up to another thread regarding this problem that doesnt actually solve it. But if I ever do find a real solution I'll post back.
