Hi guys,

I've been trying to find photos of the M47 Dragon mount on an M113. I found some overview shots in my old Verlinden and Concord books on the M113, but that's about it. Online I've not been very lucky at all, sadly. Ground mounts, sure. Walkaround of an M47, sure. M113 mounted ones, not so much...

Hints, tips and suggestions much appreciated!

Cheers,

Olaf

Hi Olaf,
no photos but I have a parts TM on the M113 FOV with drawings of the mount and other related parts if you're interested.

Do a Google search for "M113 Dragon Missile". Instantly there are lots of images in particularly tech manual drawings.

Also search for images of M113s during the Panama invasion and you'll see the Dragon mounted on the M113A2s.

Are you building it from scratch or using the Academy M113A2 kit that includes the Dragon missile mount for the cupola?

Sean, thanks, that would be cool.

Jason, thanks, hadn't tried that combo of terms yet. Planning to use the Academy one and detail as needed.

Cheers,

Olaf

I checked my TM's. All of them are too new and make no reference to the Dragon since it was phased out years ago. So, unfortunately I am of bo help.
