Does anyone have a picture of the rearmost seating area in the M706? It's possibly a radio operator's station and is situated next to the engine compartment. I would like to know what the seat. if any, looks like and in what direction it faces. I'm detailing Hobby Boss's Vietnam version to look like 'THE UNEXPECTED" in Sqaudron's Armor in Vietnam.

Thanks for any help on this matter.

Below are links to a couple pics at our WarWheels.Net site that might be able to help you out. However, note that they cover different variants of the M706 and might be a bit different for your project.

Patrick, thanks for the links. I had already used the first one to scratchbuild the turret basket, but I missed the second one. That does help. BTW, you maintain an excellent site and it's in my favorites list.

Hey Al, Azimut makes an interior set for it but don't know what it includes. Also check out the following companies for A,M, parts for the V-100.
Ledgend--kit # LF1183
Specialeast--kit#SPE35001
Trakz--kit #tx0135
New World Miniatures--kit #NWM AC002
Eduard--kit #36077
Super Scale-- decals

With all the hatchs and doors this one just begs to be detailed out. Hope to see your progress soon. Got one in the stash and will be P/U some A.M. myself. The basket pic's are good so I'll be adding one too.Is the red rotating wheel for turning the basket? bob d.
