Hi to all USAF fans and members,

I currently work on a conversion for Bronco`s M1114 into the USAF M1145 TACP HMMWV. While I had the chance to take pics of the outside of the truck,
the interior with the radios was taboo. My questions are:
1. What would the Radio rack look like and how many radios are installed
there? Googlesearch found nothing relevant.
2. Would it make sense to build a radio rack or would not much be seen when
the door are closed.
Thanks for any input or information.

Hans-Hermann

P.S. The set will be released be German company MR Models.

Contact the webmaster at http://www.jointterminalattackcontroller.com/ for anything USAF FAC related. He served as an enlisted Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) for a couple of decades, and made contacts among USAF FAC's ranging from the Korean War era Mosquito right through today's SOF TACP community involved in Afghanistan.

He also has numerous contacts in the Air Force Museum program... So, he certainly knows where to get you in the right direction for this kind of equipment! Hope this helps.
