Dragon has included the upgunned turret w/the AAVR7A1 and I'm wondering, can this turret be used on the V100/V150 to make a M1117?
According to the book, Cadillac Gage V-100 Commando, 1960-1971, the M1117 contains a M2 and M19 both of which are on the upgunned turret.

There are very good images of the M1117 on Prime Portal....compare those to the AAV turret.

I think the basic turrets of both are the same but the periscopes and sights appear to be in a different configuration and layout.

The M1117 turret also had additional armour attached.

I've noticed a difference in the turret w/periscopes circling the hatch and a difference in the area around the MK19
