Hi guys

Looking at photos of MRVs I came to the conclusion that AFV Club missed some details on their kit. I'm looking for a photo that show the area between the air intake and radiator nets. I have photos from the side but none that show the detail on the surface between the grills.

Cheers,

Are you talking about where the radiator filler cap is?

Good picture but you can't see the A1 style radiator filler cap:

I've never noticed that the exhaust is a bit different from the usual A1 exhaust.

Hi Paul

Thats the area I'm looking for but whithout the searchlight in the way. I've checked the photos on PMMS, Prime portal and the vulcan163 gallery.

Thanks Frenchy.
Got that one too.
I'm about to add that support arm that can be seen mounted between the nets (not in the AFV Club kit). I thought if I could find a picture from above it would be easier to get the arm in the right place. Eyeballing the distance from the filler cap to the attachment point.

The search goes on.

G'day Eric,
Hope this helps. It is standard on all Australian M113A1's.
