Does anyone have any pics that show the inner door details on a USMC Mk 23 MTVR? I am doing the Trumpeter kit, and as usual, Trumpeter left the inner door surfaces flat. I want to add the details that I know are there, but can't find any good pics that show them. All I have been able to find are a couple patrial shots from Prime Portal that show the cab interior, but the doors are not really visiable.

Jeff, thanks. I have seen that one, but it is of an armored door from a Mk 23 w/CPK. I am looking for a standard cab.

Thanks Rob, even better.
Here is a follow-on question:
Where is the handle to open the door? I don't see it on the inner surface. Is it in the cut-out on the left hand side in the pic, or is it inside the cab on the side wall? Or is it just a friction latch that gets pushed open / pulled closed?

According to the Motor T driver sitting next to me, the door handle is inside between the seat and the cab wall all the way back and below the seat belt retractor. The handle is silver.

You can see the exterior handle on the cab, behind and at the lower level of the door.

Thanks guys. Just what I needed. I had missed that on pics and the kit, but see the handle now.

I wish I had some pics, there really isn't much detail to the doors however, driver side door has a rifle mount handle to help climb in and a window crank that looks like it came out of a mid 80's Chrysler. Passenger side door is the same but has 2 rifle mounts.
