Hi All,

I'm not really familiar with the quickly changing modern US vechicles, but starting up a project with Bronco's M1114 up-armoured vechicle.
Do you know, is it appropriate to use FS3 sensor (Blast models) with this verison? I expect not, but his photo is giving some hope

Thanks in advance for your advise!
Cheers

Thanks Al! I'm aware that the sensor is used on HUMVEE's, even on M1114. Your photos I think are not M1114's, but I wonder if it can be used with the large machine gun turret, as per the Bronco's M1114.

Thanks again!
Cheers

according to this article, the LRAS3 is often mounted on the M1114 :

There were some M1114's in Iraq with the FS3 sensor.

The vehicles shown in the great shots posted by AJLaFleche are
Top photo: M1151
Bottom photo: M1025

The FS3 sensor does not mount with the GPK turret or the O-GPK turret.

There is an O-GPK turret that mounts the FS3 sensor on the M1117.

On M1151





This one was on my build list, very special one it is m1151 but you can use this picture as RFE for your bronco GPK m1114 build.



All pictures are result of Google search.

Man I would almost kill to have detailed turret photos of the M1151 mountings.
The first photo is the FS3 mounted in an M1167 turret.
The 2nd M1151 photo FS3 is mounted in a modified O-GPK turret.

The bottom M1151 photo is the FS3 comounted in a GPK. Very curious how the FS3 is mounted.

Great pictures. Thanks for finding and posting.

Thanks again for the answers!

Jay, great find! I did quite a lot of google search, but didn't come up with much info, perhaps beacuse I've looked for M1114's only, with the turret and FS3. I've seen most of the pics without turret, but I definiately want to keep that. Thanks!
