Meathead 0 Posted July 26, 2004 Thats cool. Im just doing it to learn and because it looked like a semi easy vehicle to do. But I would like to compare the finished products to see what I did wrong and what not. If possible. Click Me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meathead 0 Posted July 26, 2004 I could really use some driver compartment shots and in the cargo bed if anyone can dig some up. Other than that things are moving right along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeLiltMon 0 Posted July 27, 2004 From memory you've got the shape of the loadbed spot on, I'll dig out my pics when I get home from work (7hrs to go  ) In the meantime, I've had a quick scout about on the net (quiet day workwise  ) and so far I've found these: http://www.roscommonequipmentcenter.com/projects/rec60.pdf - Figure B-2 on page 9 gives a good idea of the loadbed shape, plus all the extra bits they've added are convieniently painted red  Tank Museum, Bovington article on the modification of their M548s I thought about making one of these a while a go and at the time I found a site with loads of detail pics of either a French or German one, but I'm buggered if I can find it again now   will keep looking though. *Edit French site with pics from all angles and plan views Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
