You mean the models not the real trucks correct? All the MRAP's have the same diamter turret. I've never seen any evidence of that turret on anything but a GMV, but I'd love to see it on something else. The O-GPK seems to be the standard these days for gunners turrets, with the exception being the TOW compatible turret.

Steve, yes, I mean models. Proportions at various producers differ for 10% and more, sometimes. Live Resin plan GPK, O-GPK USMC and many GMV turrets in future. We will be aspires to the true sizes and the qualitative frames of glasses, easily mounted

That's great news, I have yet to see a good O-GPK turret, they always screw up the armored glass, which is odd as it seems like it would be simpler to just make the PE mounts for the glass the same way the real ones are made vs the odd things current manufacturers do.

There are quite a few images on Live Resin website which you can use for building this set. The CAD images show you the mount and the kit pieces are easily recognizable, so these should help as well. Some of these were attached to the kit review: Link.

Yaroslav,

Would the GMV-M Turret include the figure in the CAD example?

Yaroslov,
Just got my M-240/249 with the articulated awing arm mount. I am astounded by the amount of detail in this kit. It mounted up on my truck with no problems at all (other than trying to see all the tiny parts *L*). The pictures of the real deal on the web site helped a lot too. Can't wait for my next order to get here, and for the Minigun in Marck

Later

Yaroslav, all those US tank kits out there and very few CVC head choices. Is that possibly on your future list?

From 3D model to casting is very long way. We made almost impossible.
Each small detail was prototyping tens times, by various ways while we receive ideal result. Molding of such thin and difficult details needed development of essentially new technology. Please wait two weeks more
