Is there any company that makes an resin set for the interior of the Italeri M-901 Hammerhaed ?
Or is there any other way to make it yourself ?

Sorry. you have to scratch-build it, no AM interior for it. It isn't that hard though. It is basically a standard M113 interior with a seat and turret floor for the weapons station and some internal TOW storage racks. I built an interior for a M981A2 FIST-V, which uses old M901s with new optics. Here is how it looks.

(Sorry for the pics, but it was a long time ago w/a crappy digicam)





Good luck.

I've still got photos of the interior of an M901 in my motor pool gallery. Some of the photos come from one of the two turret trainers I used to have.

Hello Ge'Hovens:
Now your talking about my favorite vehical, I spent 10 years of my life on one of these. A workable interior for the M-901 can be found at a company called "AEF Designs" it's the interior for the "TUA Lav 25 which can be used and it works fine.

Hi, Dave,
I know that AEF designs has the TUA conversion.
But ive had some bad experience with them so i'm not that happy about buying some of their stuff. ( once I bought an LAV recovery conversion, not that good quality !! )

You got soms experience with them ?

Hey Ge'
I've used AEF products before but didn't really run into any problems. I ordered several of the M-551 Sheridan updates and had no problems, I must be the lucky one, however you could use them as templets to make improvements if some parts are unuseable.
