Hi all,
Does someone know (or better yet, has pictures/drawings) how the xenon searchlight (from the m48 tank) was mounted in the back of a ford mutt? I've seen this 'conversion' used in the Vietnam war and it might be a nice addition to a future diorama.

any help is appreciated

TIA
Mark

Mark,

If you can give me a couple of days to find them, I have just what you're looking for in one of my (35mm) photo albums of an M151A1 with the M48/60 style searchlight mounted. I took the photos at an MVCC rally a number of years ago. This was the first time that I had ever seen this combo, thought that it would be an interesting subject to do someday (haven't gotten to it yet), so I took a number of good photos of it.

Again, I'll need a few days to find them, to scan them in and upload, so be patient.

Welcome aboard too!

Great, Kevin, now I'm going to have to do yet ANOTHER M151!

Gee Al... I thought that you had already built every single MUTT version ever produced. ?

Yep, I gotta do some photo searching... I'm usually quite organized.... I just gotta find where I organized them to.... Lots of (35mm) photo albums over the years, and the pics that I need to find must go back close to 20-25 years....

Be patient with me there guys....

Hi all
thanks for your replies

You just have to love these 'easy' conversions don't you?

I'm looking forward to your ref-pics Kevin (but don't worry I invented patience)

kind regards
Mark
