Anyone got interior photos of the late version M5A1.

the Verlinden set probably wouldnt fit too well so would have to be scratch

any after market goodies I could look at to enhance the kit (thinking stowage but will consider anything).

Hunnicutt has most of what you'd need and you can borrow one by interlibrary loan in the US, apparently, so maybe in the UK as well?

Well, there are some problems with the Verlinden sets as they are meant for the Tamiya kit, but many of the parts are acceptable and are probably a lot easier to modify versus scratchbuilding the whole thing. I know, I scratchbuilt masters for M5 and M8 interiors 15-20 years ago for the Yanks Miniatures set.

Starting from any of the available full interiors is a good place to start.

Accurate Armour make Stuart V interiors, but don't use those as there is almost nothing the same from the inside of an M3A3 to an M5A1. I think Verlinden and the old Yanks sets are pretty much your only options. I don't think TMD so any M5A1 interior stuff.

The kit is a bit fiddly in a few places, I detailed these in a build review I posted on the AMPS web site:
