Hi Gang,
another long shot, but does anybody know which way the SINCGARS radios are installed in the M707 Knight HMMWV? I found only a couple of pics from the outside. I need to know if the SINCGARS
is attached only on the rack behind the engine bulkhead or does the vehicle have the SINCGARS/Blue Force Tracker rack?

Good find Frenchy! But is it confirmed that it`s the standard installation or maybe a test vehicle? Would be helpful to have pics of the whole installation to get to lnow where which item is located in the truck.

Looks like the pictured vehicle belongs to the 5th Brigade of the 1st Armored Division :

The base vehicle looks like an early M1151. I plan to build an M1025 of 1/91 CAV.
