Would anyone out there have a pic or two of the forward part of the tripod mount between the front seats and maybe, just maybe some shots of the Jumpseats?

Thank you Matt and Andy, just what I was looking for! Did alittle research last night on this one and a few others such as the M-37 truck. It's weird, you punch in a search for one thing and "accidentally" find just what you're looking for, namely drawings of the M-37 Cargo Truck! And that wasn't all. Now that we're stocked up on M-151A1's too, it's time to get busy and put out a few smaller sets for in-between the announced items.

Howdy Ronnie,

Regarding the M151A1: Pawel "Vodnik"'s review and build article might be useful for you:

Thanks Andy, we are now ready to "Rock and Roll" with this one! I had my Mastermind check it all out and again, all I got was his usual saying "Piece of Cake!" So what I'll try to do is have it ready by the end of the month. Might be two separate sets though, one an M-151A1C correction set and then the 106 RR set. By the way, what's the diameter of that new steering wheel?

Hi Ronnie

This Picasa album includes some pics showing a M151A2C with the M40 removed. :

Maybe it would help with other details ?

I based the steering wheel off of the Taymia jeep (the newer kit, 35219). I can get you an exact measurement tonight if you wish.

Note that if you do a "correction" set, you could also issue the A2 variant (M825), and you will have to correct all the issues with the base A1 kit that academy did...which would instantly give you a A1 correction set you can market seperate!
If you want to go another step, you could do a M151A1D with the Davy Crocket tac nuke!

Thanks for the steering wheel info Andy, it's a great help.
Nuke Launcher for a Jeep? Wow, that and the Mine Clearing device I've never even heard of. Guess that's why they called those vehicles "Multipurpose"! Of course we have to fix the other things wrong with the MUTT before getting to the Oddball things.
As far as the M-37 drawings go, I couldn't even begin to tell you. I copied them from a website and have them here on a full CD of M-37 info that I gathered. If you email me I can shoot you a copy.

Dude, you start producing conversion kits for MUTTs and ill be all over that! I'm working on a series for SMMI with at least a years worth of Willys jeep conversions... nothing to say I couldnt do the same with MUTT's!

I was looking for smaller things to fit in-between the larger conversions and the MUTT projects fit the bill. Can't say that we'll get to them this year but they will be coming. If it's Nam-related, I'm all for it!

I have found some M125 stuff I'll pass it on. Not everything but some things.

I have searched for a few years now. I will say so many M113 ACAVs are actually M125s, many M106s are actually M125s so you have to look closely many of the captions are wrong. Like so many M109 pix are m108s.

Yes, it does get quite confusing sometimes and I know what you mean about having to look closely at photos! happens to me all the time online but once in a while you'll hit a varitable Goldmine of information.
