Hi,

Has anybody got any decent photos of the WWII BM-8 rocket launcher on the T-60 hull they can post.

I'm especially interested in how the 'steps' just behind the rear storage boxes attach... are they fixed or do they fold up for travel

the platform/shelf at the back and how this is fixed to the hull. Again if it fixed or should it fold

and finally the wiring for the rocket rails

the two best shots I've turned up so far are on

In the picture below, you can see the "step" folded up :



But I guess it won't help much with wiring

Maybe this drawing would be more helpful :

A walkaround of a ZiS-mounted BM-8-48 may come in handy for details...

Cheers for that Frenchy

I thought it looked like the steps could fold, but that shot proves it
