Hi all,
do you know where can I get M1145 fac photos besides the set that is over prime portal?!
Google seems to be not a good source,I know that is difficult to get interior photos but for the exterior...... is it possible?!
Can you share your photos with me?!
regards

Pictures of M1145 FAC HMMWVs are practically non-existent. The photos at Prime Portal are the only photos I'm aware of.

Site member 'Frenchy' or 'Luna's will be along shortly I'm sure and might have some stashed away.

Here are some pics I took of a USAF 1145 at a static display at a recent airshow. The front bumper has a brush guard with winch. The antenna config is the same as the vehicle shown in Prime Portal. They have 2 different config of radio pallets, the TSQ-198, and the GRC-206. Google for more pics, I did. Hope this helps.

Having operated out of one, I'm kicking myself for NOT taking pictures (despite being an avid model builder)...

However, if you have any questions regarding USAF FAC equipment, I'd start with the Official/Unofficial US Air Force Tactical Air Control Party website. In particular, under the TACP 411 tab, under equipment:

http://www.jointterminalattackcontroller.com/wordpress/tacp-411/tacp-equipment/


I've got loads of pictures, however, they are all from my 2005 deployment to Iraq where we used the TACP/CV variant of the Stryker (which I picked up the AFV Club kit of that back in 2009...). Just send me a message, and I'll try to share what resources I can. Pictures are sure scarce, but I think I can help folks find some, I know people and have some connections I can pull...
