Hey guys,
Just letting you know that I finally got around to adding some new pictures in my gallery.
The 3 models are: Academy's M163 SPAAG, Tamiya's M113A3, and Tamiya's TOW HMMWV.
The M113A3 has a pic of the vision blocks that i made a post on a few weeks ago, but only the blue/purple colors are visable. Trust me the red and green are there.
I also want to thank members Epi & Sabot for information they had given me in regards to the wiring of the TOW system and the # of persons it takes to operate the M163.
Enjoy the pics. Comments are appreciated.
Joe

great builts Joe.i especially liked the extra loads on the 163 hull..congrats

Redeye,
I am glad I can be of service to you sir. They all look awsome. Know you just need an Italeri HEMMTT, and a 5 Ton and you have a combat team reaady for battle. Oh, dont forget the M577 for command.

Thanks for the replies guys.
As for the external fuel cells on the M163, back in '98, my National Guard unit went to Ft. Stewart, Ga. for our 2 week summer camp. In the motorpool there were plenty of differant vehicles, including a M163 with the external fuel cells. I don't know if this was a field modification, or if there is a later version of the M163, or if it was a M113A3 with a 20mm Gatling gun mounted. But what i do remember, is that just about all of the M113 type vehicles there had the external fuel cells. As soon as I can, I will scan a few of the pics I took .
Epi, I have the 577 & the 5 ton. I am saving up for the M88 & HEMMITT.
Thanbks again guys.
Joe
