I am looking for interior layout diagrams and/or pictures for the M163A1 Vulcan AA system based on the M113 chassis. I plan on adding an interior to an MRC/Academy kit, and I need to know how the electric drive motor and the ammo feed is located in the back of the 113.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

You're correct Mike, Verlinden's M113 part 2 did have interior shots. I know at least of a couple of the shots in the link posted above are included in the Verlinden book.

Hi horsegunner
I have built some years ago the M163A1 and I have found a beautiful PE interior set by Eduard. Take a look to Eduard's website: maybe that this set is still in production.
