ok Animal..Gunnie...Sabot
Need to pick your brains..for ideas where i might find info..i Started my Pershing Missile Project...I am going to be building the tracked EL (erector launcher) and the trailer EL .the tractor
launcher is based on the 113 chassis..but to me also looks like an m114..just cut down....the trailer looks like a basic drop deck trailer with the hydraulics...The Missile is the easy part of the deal...just another self propelled flyin tube..its everything else that goes with it...i checked Pershing Missile .org..and according to the info there..besides the the m-656 8x8 tractor..this things trailer was also pulled by the hemmt and also an mann t 10..8x8...i didnt know the Army used them (the Mann) that is...but they also use alot of m54 xlwbs and 925 xlwb trucks....as soon as i figure out how to upload pics i'll include one..hope you understand what i need...HHHHEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol
Thanks Ray

Here is a site that has some photos of the 656 and other trucks that were used. http://www.jedsite.info/transport/mike-number-us/m656_series/m656-ptspp/m656ptspp-intro.html

Here is a direct link to the complete site.

Ray - I've been planning one myself. Here's some links I've found useful for modeling the Pershing Missile System (if you don't already have them):

Six pages of Pershing Missile System photos

Pershing Missiles

Article with some more useful photos

And a decent 1:35th scale model of the XM474 Transporter from Mike's Model Madness

Hope this helps...

Gunnie

The link to the XM 474 is cool. I have never seen this vehicle before. But now that I have, I am going to have to build one. Thanks for sharing Gunnie.

Heh heh - we could have an informal groupie going on here...

Gunnie

hahaha
looks like i may have created a monster here..the xm launcher looks fairly simple..but thought the m114 track had a short flat front on it..must be me..well lets see what we can develop...and gunnie..go to www.pershingmissile.org and join..also the same yahoo group..all kinds of info and photos

heres another thought..modifing a body from the mace transporter..put it on a hemtt chassis and change the wheels...sounds like it might work...grins...now i'm looking for the mann 10t revell of ger..has one so i'll have the eur transporter for it..just need the launcher....gunnie i have a .fair drawing of the missile..kinda blured ..let me know and i'll email it
Ray
goes for you to dave
