I'm new to armor and I want to do a dio of deuce and a half. I need to know what aftermarket accessories are out there. I want to convert a M35A2 to the M35A2C and put a ANTSQ-7A in the bed. BTW, an ANTSQ-7A is an air traffic control shelter. The reason I'm doing this is because I drove this truck in Iraq in 1991. All replies are welcomed. Thank you, Jon Ryckert

An ANTSQ-7A is an air traffic control shelter.



What does it look like ? Italeri has released a M925 5-ton truck kit (#367)that includes a shelter...



Eduard has released a PE set for the M35A2 kit (#35577):


Echelon has released a set of pre-cut mirrors (#M357009)

HTH

Hi Frenchy. Thanks for the reply. I tried to add it to Kitmaker photo page but I could'nt get it to resize the way the photo page wanted it. If you would send me an e-mail, I will send you a pic. If you don't want to, I'll give you a brief discription. It takes up the whole bed of the deuce and a half (just like the signal shelter) and is around eight feet tall. There is UV protective glass all around the sides from waist high to the ceiling. The entry door is on the passenger side of the vehicle, centerd on the truck bed. This truck and shelter were paired with another deuce with an enviromental control unit on the bed. Power was supplied by a trailer with a generator on it. HTH, Jon

The Eduard photoetch set is really helpful.
Italeri's electronics shelter is also available separately without the 5-ton truck as kit 6388 Shelter. About ten bucks from Great Models. Up to you whether it's worth trying to convert--your type with all the glass sounds so different, you might prefer to scratchbuild it from styrene sheet.
