Good day to you guys!
I just got back to building kits after 2 years of getting myself busy in other things.
I want to finish my ACHILLES from AFV. I want to paint it in winter scheme. I bought mini art British tank crew (in winter uniform) to give it some life. But here comes my problem, the commander figure is holding s microphone (a radio or an interphone?). I dont know where the microphone cable is connected. Since it's an open top vehicle, it will be very obvious if I put the cable in the wrong direction. I searched the net but I found none. Please help guys.

Good question. The British stowage diagrams for the M10 show no signs of any control boxes in the turret so I surmise that the 19 set is in the RH front of the hull and that the cables would run to the sponson there. I don't have a set of hull diagrams to hand to confirm this unfortunately. Make sure you add both antenna bases too!

Bovington does sell them and a set apparently appears in Wydawnictwo Militaria 115 on the M10 and M36.

Thanks for the reply. I will first build the figure, place it in the turret and post pics. So you guys can check if I am going on right track.
