Hi Gang,
I stumbled across some footage from Grenada that proves the use of M718 A1 Ambulance MUTT in the invasion. Had any company ever released a conversion set for the M718?

TIA

I don't think so Hans. If anyone knows of one though, I'm also definitely interested in hearing about it.

I don't know of any either, but it doesn't look too dificult to build the rear extension tray and litter racks. The canvas could also be done using water/PVA glue soaked tissue paper cut to fit bows made of plastic rod.

Actually put it on my to-build-list after I found detail pics on Primeportal. All I need now is a state-of-the-art M151 kit
BTW Has anyone information/pics of the FAC/Observer MUTT sporting an umbrella shaped antenna?

Academy's M151A2 with hardtop and trailer is pretty nice. The tires suck and need to be replaced with either a set of Tamiya tires (which are pretty accurate) or AM tires (DEF models has a few). There is also an Eduard PE set for the M151A2 and Legend just came out with a nice resin/PE update set.

For a good M1511A1, Tamiya's new one is pretty nice.

Check out my M151 Feature Article for more details.

What about these threads (various FAC set-ups can be found...) ?

It's amazing how you can depend on Frenchy to find a photo of ANYTHING!
Here are some gratuitous shots of my own efforts to kitbash an M718A1 from the Tamiya M151A2. A nifty little item for the shelf! I didn't hit it too hard with detail or weathering, but it's passable.
If you jump through the photos into my Flickr set, you'll see I took a bunch of photos all along the build.
thanks,
Sean H.

Sean, your model looks fantastic, made my day, thanks!

Cheers,

Christophe

Two more FAC M151's fitted with (I guess...) the MRC-107 radio pallet :





On a side note Hans-Hermann, if you're looking for something even more spectacular, what about a M151 fitted with a AN/MSQ-103 Special Purpose Receiving Set :

Hi all,
thanks for all the inforamtions.
@Sean excellent build of the M718, It will efinitly help when I do it myself someday.
@Frenchy That Electronic Warfare contraptions looks tempting. But I rather stick to some conventional MUTT builds.
