Hi guys, please help with this...I need them for these kits I'm building now:

Zelda "Kasman Armor " (Legend Productions)
Classical (AEF Designs)
Nagman I & II (Blast-models)

Would the interior be the same layout for all these versions?

Some photos of their Radio and other communications equipment and all that cabling inside the interior..would really be great!


Any interior photos of the Nagman I and II "Doghouses" ?

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick

I'm no IDF expert at all, but I've found this picture that may interest you (on flikr.com). I even don't know if it's a Nagman variant


The enlarged picture is HERE

For what it's worth....

OOOPS I've done more research and the picture probably shows a M113 Zelda 2 (minus the hull add-on armor...)
I'll try to do better next time...

THANKS guys,

Any info is always welcomed!!!
I will check out those links.

Regarding IDF M113s...There's quite a few screw ups with the names..apparently someone decideds to take a photo and gives the vehical a name to his descretion! So leaving the majority of us..confused! Once I gather enough info I will post correct "name calling"

In the meanwhile..I've got to keep searching for interior pics.. Today, I finally finished scrutinising and correcting exterior details and layout (to a decent extend) of the M113s I'm building....I was pretty surprised that even Legend and Blast-Models made some obvious mistakes..




Martin, thanks for those links too!
