Does anyone have any good photos of the APU for the M88A1? I've scratch built one for my AFV kit and now I've got to PAINT it!

From my fading memory, I remember seeing them in yellow or blue. Let me google to see what I can come up with since I'm stuck on the name of the APU also now.

Ok the manufacture of the APU was Onan, and they have a distinctive emerald blue color to them on their civilian APUs/Generators.

Thanks. I did find this which is the APU for the M-88A2. This is very similar to the APU which is shown in the TM for the M-88A1, but there are some visible differences in a number of areas.

It appears to be mostly black with a lot of chrome/stainless/aluminum. I may just go with this.
