Does anyone have any photos of an M577 that was employed by B Sqn 3/4 CAV. Particularly of the top of the vehicle which shows the roof stowage boxes etc

The photo's which you have here are ok. However they are for a M577 in the configuration of a 5/7 RAR or 1st Armd REegt one. I served with B 3/4 Cav and so I'm interested in building a version similar to what I once drove

John,
Easiest way then would be reread thou Cartyb's or Wayne's https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/126476#1051337 (1/4 of the way down the page) build and adjust the stowage and TAC markings to the car you crewed. The majority of the parts he used are available from Mouse House.

Cheers Jason

Carty,

outstanding build! Your step by step assembly is very informative and helpful!

The M577 that is on my shelf is slated for a Canadian Army vehicle of the 4th CMBG during the 80-ties.
My intention is to use an Academy M113 hull and the upper structure from Tamiya.

Regards

Hauke,

Thanks. Sorry so late on the reply but I am deployed right now and dont get to check the site very often. My next M577 will also be a Canadian Track. Hoping do do one up in the current Afghanistan configuration with rubber band tracks. That will have to wait a few month till i am back home. Good luck with your build and post some pics. I love to see M577 stuff on here.

Carty
