I'm about to begin my AFV M88. I know that we have some folks here with first hand knowledge, so I'll probably be asking for a lot of advice.
My plan is to show the M88 in a diorama lifting something. Probably an M113 (I have a picture of one doing that). I am doing the Vietnam era version.
So, to start, I have 2 questions.
1. Do the roadwheels have rubber tires? It looks like it to me.
2. When the boom is extended and the wench is in use, where is it controled from? Should one or more of the hatches be open? I don't plan to buy an interior kit, so I will only open a hatch id I need to have a figure there.
Thanks Folks.

Yes, the left front hatch is the driver, the right front hatch is the boom operator, center hatch is the TC and the rear hatch is the rigger.2. When the boom is extended and the wench is in use, where is it controled from? Should one or more of the hatches be open?
