At last I found it, plus shows the pivot steers removed.

I had to pause the playback, but, forward of the gear shift, and below the cannon plugs is the vent. Any of the As that has that square cover I would guess is a system over haul done in the States. I want to thank all who have posted on my threads, and the great modelers, researchers who created their own threads on the "Track" M113. This is too cool, Tamiya, smell the glue.

Excellent, I wanted to see the M19 mount. Do you have any sources as far as the interior wiring?
Thanks
You have been a great source on this vehicle.

You're welcome Several M113-related TMs are available online, but they're for the A1/A2 versions onwards...

Here are two color pics of a gas-powered M113 (in fact a XM734 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle which was tested in Vietnam in limited number) :

Another excellent series of photos! It appears that the vehicle has some attachment points similar to the ones in the EDUARD PE kit for the M113. Appears they may have got a little carried away with the paint since they over painted the alternator/rectifier(sp) box which is normally black. I guess the up gun was in response to the 1967 BMP put out by the Soviets. I will check out the '10s on the M113. The wiring should be pretty close.

Once again thank you for the help and information.
