I know I posted this here Lastnight so I will try again.
About 20 some odd years ago I did this in 1/87.

So once Revell came out with the M2/M3 Bradley (kit 03143)
I decided to try it withe the Hammerhead from ESCI's M901.
This is what I started with.

Great idea, only problem I see with your prototype is a lack of a reloading hatch in the rear. You've got a bunch of tools back there instead

Well "inspite" of Nay Sayers on weather or not this is a viable vehicle ....
The progress contenues
Here it is with a new roof:


Here are the parts from ESCI's Hammerhead:


Now, the TC hatch on the Hammerhead is molded closed, as shown here:


So I have taken the parts from ESCI's M113, Namely the TC hatch, so that I can add it to the Hammerhead mount:


I took the Hemmerhead mount, and sanded down the hatch till the M113 TC hatch fit to it:


I will add a MG ring and look for an M60/M60D for mounting to it.
If any questions, feel free to reply.
