I have just noticed on Blast Models website, that they added Karo-AS Modellbau -Terre Modeles new resin interior set for M577 to their catalog. This Tamiya kit was another good illustration for the opinion poll I posted recently - big empty shell with large openable ramp at the back. Now we can easily fill this empty space for only... 58 euro (or 48.50 euro for non-EU customers)

They also have an interesting M104 trailer (from the same manufacturer) .....at 51 Euros (postage NOT included) !!

This is just what I've been looking for......given the level of my scratchbuilding abilities, this will save much time, cut fingers, and many obscenities

Pawel,
Will you be getting a review copy or just be getting this. Would like to see pictures of whats in the kit or just whats in the kit.

I would love to get a review sample, but I have no contacts whatsoever with the manufacturers of this set. And I can't afford to spend 70 euro (incl. shipping) right now

Pawel

SAme here Pawel, but it would look so damn sweet next to a M1A1 or a Bradley.

A 4 vehicle TOC would make a very impressive dio!!!!!!!!! But that would be expensive!

This looks like a German or Dutch commo conversion. I haven't seen the inside of any US M577 that looks like that with the left side table removed and swivel chair on the floor.. But I could be wrong.

Paul

And now the set is gone from Blast Models website... Please admit which of you bought their entire stock out?! :-)

Pawel

Wasn't me...payday's not until tomorrow!!!!!!

Pete,
There are pics on this expired ebay auction.

Thanks Chuck, I have the old Tamiya and now it's worth digging out, now to find it here in the US only cheaper :-) :-) :-)

I'd like to know for sure whether this is a US vehicle interior or not before I spend the $$ on this. Wow, this is just what I have been hoping for, if it were for a US interior of today.

I checked my references and this interior is definitely of Bundeswehr M 113 A1 GE Gefechtsstandfahrzeug (M577). Not US Army vehicle...

But to build accurate German vehicle serious modification to the exterior of the vehicle are needed...
