Luc, i have a set of drawings of the TUA version. I'll send them with the M113 TUA drawings when I get home. The upper hull and interior will be different, but you should be able to make the changes from the photos you have.

Is the Coyote a LAV III? I haven't been keeping up with the series much.

Someone needs to make a kit or conversion of a LAV to build a Coyote I wish I was skilled enough to kit bash one but that is way beyond me.

No the coyote is not based on the LAV III chassis. It is referred to as a LAV II chassis generically and is the same as a Bison or USMC LAV 25 chassis.

Conversion to follow.
