Hi all,

the postman delivered yesterday HobbyFan`s M167 A1 Vulcan gun. While being of excellent quality(it even has turned aluminium barrels), the instructions leave a lot to be desired. Does anyone out there know if there is a detailed walkaround in the net? My search didn`t find anything useful.
Frenchy???

TIA

Hi Hans Hermann

I'm on holidays and far away from my computer but I've managed to stay in touch with Armorama members There are some M167 VADS walkaround pics on Maquetland.com :

Just click on "telecharger" under the M167 thumbnail to download the pics in ZIP format.

A few more pics here : http://s20.photobucket.com/albums/b229/DDonSS3/M167A1%20VADS/ and here as well :

Thank you my French and Dutch friends!

This will ease my build very much! I think I have to change my search engine. But before starting this build, I found an equally challenging build, I try to mix
Trumpeters M1135 NBC RV with the AFV Club kit.
Merci bien and Danke

Not much of reference but perhaps some inspiration: go to http://www.defenseimagery.mil/index.html and make a search for DA-ST-92-07891 and DF-ST-91-10778.

Cheers,

I've got a dozen or so pics of this if you still need them. I can scan them and post them or send them to you. Don M.
