I've been working on the AFV M-88A1 kit for quite some time and I though I'd post some pictures.

I got an aftermarket interior kit and then added a lot of extra items based on both the extensive photos on Prime Portal as well as info in the TMs.

In addition to the interior, I've also decided to tackle the complete engine compartment.

Here are some shots of the interior. The full set of all photos so far is located at the link.

Very nice work Tom. Love the attention to detail!

Looks like a winner to me Tom.

wow very nice work.

Yeah, that's the problem with being an engineer and having copies of all the TM's available. I think that if I can SEE it, I should DO it

Man that's looking good so far. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your engine bay.

yup, what they said. An interesting subject build that is seldom spotlighted.

What interior AM kit are you using to scratch build around?

Happy Newyear! . The interior looks great! keep up the good work.

It's the MR Modelbau kit MR 35031 which I bought quite some time ago.

It's a pretty good kit but I added quite a bit of additional interior detail to match the photos and the TM.

The winch was pretty much a complete scratch build. I've started working on the engine compartment, and at the moment I'm waiting for the Legend M-60 engine to come in since it's pretty much the same as the M-88. I got some GREAT reference photos which are a huge help and I've done a lot of the stuff that goes around the engine, but I don't want to go too much further until I actually get the engine and see what I have to fit everything around.

Wow Great stuff! Looked at all your photos on the link. Please post more as this is impressive work. Congratulations. Happy New Year to all
