Dragon makes one with the 106mm Recoilless rifle, and one just standard one. Both come with US marines
Standard one http://www.anticsonline.co.uk/1469_1_1108625.html
Rec Rifle http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=DR%203315
The standard one is quite difficult to find, but I have seen it on ebay. The rec rifle one isn't too difficult there are two on ebay right now

The dragon kit is good. But be very care full taking off the cage off the sprue. Sometimes they warp so it's a little tricky to take them off and glue them.

As with the M151A1 Mutt/jeep you can use them in many ways. They are good especially for dioramas, many units had both along with the trailers around. Even infantry and artillery units had those issued to them.

All you have to do is use a piece of sprue sanded to fit the hole where the RR goes. Don't use the ammo racks. The kit without the gun is OOP and hard to find, it includes a plug. Once in a while they show up on ebay for about $25. The old kit also has some nice figures about 4 Marines with M14 rifles.

Hi Roy,

i would also highly recommend to buy the PE-Set from Eduard.
It improve the quality a lot and you get some nice extra parts for Detailing Figures and Equipment like helmet bands, rifle slings, watches, dog tags etc. Especially the dog tags and watches are alone worth the money and the the PE is good to work with.

Have a look at the pdf-file on their site. All parts are shown so you see what you get and what how much detail you can add.

This link shows the finished M-274 Mule with all PE-parts added ready to pait and the Figures with added PE-parts too.

Bye, bye
