This one's for Sabot or any one else who can answer.
Maple Leaf Models has a great resin set for a M113 interior but I want to make sure that the heater is the same as the US heater. Take a look at the set here:

Paul,
The heater looks exactly the same. The only thing missing on the Maple Leaf Model is the hose and floor vent. However, to my knowledge, nobody makes those items.

That's it. They are always painted dark olive green. The heater hose could be replicated with shrink tubing purchased at your local Raido Shack. They sell assortments with various diameter tubes.

Of course then I get home and discover that I have this photo buried on the PC which clears it up.

Aint that the truth blaster76! I remember one REFORGER with no heater in the command track. We would wake up each morning with ice sickles on the ceiling. We went outside just to warm up. #:-)
