The Australian variant with a winch in David's post is a M806AS4.

AFAIK the US Army tested the M806 but didn't adopt it :



H.P.

I have enough info available to do the M125 with one problem, I don't know how wide the ammo stowage racks on the left side are.

Hi Bob

Maybe you could "guesstimate" that ?

(from this Flickr album showing an Australian "Mortar Track" )

Judging by the picture above, the rack is snugly fitted between the battery box/radio rack and the fuel cell. Just keep in mind that in case your using Academy's fuel cell (M113A1 cell) for reference, you'll have to reduce its length (see this thread on ML)...

Bob,
Any chance of getting an interior for a M48 Patton Tank????

The M106 set will be done as accurately as possible and can be modeled in both firing and travelling positions.

I didn't know that the current M113 kit's Driver's hatchways were the wrong size. What are they supposed to be?

It's the width of the stowage racks on the other side that have me baffled. They look about the same width as the M106 but 81mm Ammo tubes are smaller if I remember right.

Two versions of the M113 family that would be nice to see are the M125A1 81mm Mortar carrier (never been done) and the M113 TOW Cap .

The TOW Cap has never been completely done. Both Hobby Fan and Azimut put out conversions, but neither was totally accurate. The Hobby fan version comes the closest, but does not have the "Cap".

Thanks for your efforts to provide your conversions for the M113 family. They have been needed for a long time.

Let me know if you need any M106(A2) pictures. The sight box would be a good addition and I think the extension in the kit is wrong as well. One think I don't have a good picture of but I know is there is a bracket on the front edge of the fuel tank that is for securing the rounds in the ready rack.

I don't know what the true dimensions of the hatch are but the outside should be the same outer diameter as the hole that it's covering and it's not on either Academy or Tamiya and neither one got the IR periscope guard and plug (?) right. And the top edge is beveled.

Grenade box and IR periscope are a few of the items missing from the driver's area.

It would be nice if there was a kit for Basic Issue Items like the tool bag, oil filler thing with the not so nice nickname, etc.

This would explain the noticable difference

M125A2 :



M106A2 :



Another "guesstimation" ?

I know about the TOW and M901 but what's a TOW CAP Dave? Do you mean the M981 FIST-V?
