Hi Ramboalphaeco
I cut up two Tamyia kits for this version Mobile Tactical Vehicle Light, Cargo Carrier (MTVC). There is a lot of scratch building required. The tracks are different and pictures of them are rare on the web. No one replied to my requests for pictures and links, so I gave up on my build. If I get a chance I will try and post some pictures on my web page over the week end. http://www3.sympatico.ca/dangeloc/page_01.htm
Regards,
Ralph

Hi Curtis
It as been over one year since I worked on it. I did not do a cab interior due to no pictures. For the turret ring, I cut up the top of the M113 until it was close to where the new location was and glued everything back together and when it was cured I recut it again until it fit the new location as the new roof. The sketches that I used are here and click on MTVC Cargo Carrier Characteristics http://www.defencetalk.com/forums/ext.php?ref=http://www.uniteddefense.com/www.m113.com/mtvc.html
I,m still waiting to see if some one will post pictures of the different varients. But no luck so far.

Ralph
