Verlinden is going to be releasing the M-5 Recon Update with full interior next month. I have seen a scratch built version a few months ago, and have attempted to find referances for it. I'm kind of at a dead end. Does anyone know of any book other than Hunnicutt that has photos of this varient? Any help is gratfully accepted. Thanks in advance. :-)

Many years ago, the old Military Modeling had a scratchbuild version of this featured. I'll see if I stil have this in my archives (said the pack rat) and see if there were any pics of the original.

Thanks Sir. I can use all the help that I can get. The update looks pretty complete. I would just like to know what it looked like in the field. It seems to be a fairly rare varient. The Verlinden update can be seen here. M-5 Recon interior/exterior Then click on Verlinden on the left. It is the first release under November.

Tiger--I'll dig through my old issues, I know I saw that hummer years ago. Should be a great project. Any idea on the cost of the Verlinden set?
thanks

Hey, Tiger, I have the pictures from that 1985 article on the M-5 conversion to a T8 recce vehicle. Send me your e-mail and I'll get them over to you. You can send the address to [email protected]. I'll check my mail again in a little while, if you send it tonight, I'll get the pics out right away, otherwise, expect them tomorrow.
