Does anyone know where I can find colour pix of the M151 or M151A2 Mutt? I bought the 1/35 Academy kit really cheap in Germany (3 euros!) but the instruction leaflet's in Korean! So I'm clueless on colours for a lot of the details like dash, steering wheel, gear stick, seats, drive shaft, etc. This is to go on a large dio for the Welcome to the Nam campaign. Can anyone help pls? Cheers!

For 3 Euros your kit is most likely older Academy kit, which was a copy of even older Tamiya model. If this is M151A2 variant then you have to remember that they were introduced in 1970 and relatively few of them were used in last years of Nam war. This means that your diorama will be a bit limited to post-1970 period if you want to use your M151A2 kit and make it reasonably accurate.
Here are Google search results for M151A2: http://images.google.com/images?q=M151A2&hl=en&btnG=Search+Images

Thanks, Francois. I have those sites. Can't find any interior pix though.
Pawel, you are right. I hadn't planned to use the Mutt for this camp when I bought it, but I can probably modify it to look like an A1.

For the engine of the M-151, here is another website:

You can also see the other M-151 photos on this site.
HTH.
PS. The red horn installed in this MUTT M-151 is not a genuine part.
