Hay "turrettoad13" I to needed help on this at one time and HeavyArty and otheres helped me so I'm going to pass on the info they gave me.


To make the wording a bit eazyer: Yellow-Live Round, Blue-Practice Round or case.
The Brown-Stripe is Rear of Missile and it's stripe looks a little like a dark redish-brown color.

The Danish and the Italians both use or have used the TOW launcher mount from the rear hatch as well. Are you using one of the two resin conversion sets available?

Carlton;
As u posted, you found the pics. Hobby Boss makes a conversion for the early Gerif M113 Tow. But if you check out there kit and use your referance pics, its fairly easy to buil this conversion on your own. Good Luck. Todd
