WOW>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Another wild and wooly beast to add to the collection of oddballs. Is this in kit form yet or only found in the dark recesses of All resin ?

Yes, all resin and since it's from Hobby Fan, it certainly isn't cheap resin either! The Museum complex at Ft Leonard Wood has an M-9 ACE on display in their vehicle park of the museum, for reference photos etc.

Marc,

I think I can help you out as well. I live about 40 minutes from Ft. Leonard Wood and since I'm retired from the Army I have access to the Fort. I should be able to get up there within the next 2 weeks. All I need from you is there any specific area/ spot of the M9 you would like photos of? I've got a digital (low resoultion type), so I could just e-mail them to you. Just send me a message with your wish list of photos and I'll do the best I can.

You also might be able to try the backdoor link to AFV Interiors. If it doesn't work, I have the pictures and text saved to my hard drive. If you are interested, check in one of the previous posts about AFV Interiors as there is a list of the links still floating about. If that doesn't work, PM me and I'll email you the article.

There is currently a Hobby Fan kit up for sale on eBay for around $80...I believe it was from Hong Kong direct.
