Hard to tell (pic too small) Looks like it could be an M-4 C2V Command and Control vehicle based on the Bradley/MLRS chassis.

I think Kevin is correct. It should be fairly easy to scratchbuild--you can start with the Dragon MLRS kit and scratch the rear compartment. Since it's a big box, it should be easy to make if you can get the measurements and profiles.

As identified above, it is an M4 C2V (Command and Control Vehicle). It is not a modified troop carrier. It is built upon an M230 MLRS chassis. The thread Jim linked gives all the details and a nice conversion of it. Unfortunately, the US Army did not fund them, so the project died and they were not fielded beyond a couple test vehicles used early in Iraq.

Gino-- Right On! This was a very capable system that the Army rejected as a replacement for the M-577. Too bad.

First off, welcome to the site. I see you are pretty new. Here are a few pointers to make it easier for all.

1. Its a good idea to read the replies before responding so redundant info isn't given over and over again. The same info you posted was given almost 2 months ago in a previous reply. It keeps the forum more user-friendly and makes info easier to find.

2. Punctuation and capital letters are a good idea as well and also make your post easier to read.
