VERY COOL!!!!! it's coming along great!
I haven't even started mine yet, I'm still trying to finnish my jagdpanzerIV.
Don't forget the lil' loops on the sides for the BII ( tools) and the oddities from
the real ones compared to the kits.
If you need any close ups let me know I'll try to get them for you buy friday ( I have staff duty on tuesday through weds.) so I'll try when we do motorpool close out.

I do have one of the roof, but I can also get some more tommorrow and by the way: your all welcome!
we're pulling pack tommorrow so I can get some pics of the engine being pulled out if I can get the time while we work on it?
but more pics of the inside, on the way ( maybe tommorrow?).

Hi RED
no the forward observer wasnt the fist v...they have a 992 command vech...if i could figure out how to upload to rons usmc page or even my own ..i'll load the picks..quite a cool vechicle
..BTW..thanks for taken the time to help us...sorry if we seem impatient...just overly enthused ..to build and having somebody in direct contact..with subject
also wish i had some advice from an old vet on duckin the "top" when it comes to extra details...truth is ,,,the s.o.b. always found me too...lol
take care

Thanks for the pics. A couple pics of the front section of the upper hull and some interior shots would be nice. Maybe a pic of the roof if possible.

we don't use the conveyer sysytem, takes to long to transfer shells, it's all about the time. but I'll get you the pics of the cat though, also if I can get in the conex to the conveyer I'll snap off a few?

For the ammo carrier i am gonna have to take a pladin chassis and then scratch build the upper portion of the carrier because if i am not mistaken the ammo carrier is based on the paladin chassis? Some photos and dimensions(if possible) of the upper portion of the hull, where the turret would be on a paladin would be extremely helpful, oh and maybe a few pics of the crane up front(i saw one in a couple pics) and the interior with the ammo racks and ammo transfering boom that extends out the back. I am planning to have the cat transferring some rounds to the paladin in a sort of diorama. This is a lot i realize but any photos at all would be helpful. The kit i am using is the Italeri Paladin. Thanks A LOT

you mean the fist V, I can get some of the pics just depends all what they have me doing. I wont be able to get a lot of pics at once but spread out from a day or two? They don't like it when we try to do things for our selves or things like,............. think? haha?

Hey Red
How goes..cant wait..just looking for the upper hull measurements..and hatch measurements..
another question ..they use the forward observer...fassv in your unit..i found one with belgium markings but wasnt sure if its in US inventory..also ment to ask you
the floation inflation pice thats on the kit is removed on real paladins..but is that sectoin of the hull moved closer to the turret..or is theyre a large gap..between the two

thanks Ray

Cat pictures coming up this week, I would've done it this weekend but the hey you details suck around here.
we still call the ammo carrier a cat so that's still the same thing, just don't let me confuse you mmkay?
just let me know some focal points you want? or if you can give me a run down of the kit, I should be able to
let you know what you need to scratch build so you can set your kit apart from the rest of the box kits.

Hi Redleg1-7FA, i was wondering since you have acces to a Paladin, would you have access to a M992A2, the support vehicle for it, because i have been searching high and low for detailed pictures of it so i can build it and i havent had any luck. So i am wondering if you can take some pictures of it? If not, thanks anyway, the paladin pics are helpful so thanks for them!

any peg things on the front should be cut off , cept for the one by the travel lock, then on the sides, if you see that there is
clusters of bolts down the sides in sets of 3's, it should be sets of 2 ( side by side ) you can kinda tell from my profile picture?

That's an Alpha btry gun, I took this when I was in the field while attached to a service battery.
I do have a lot of pics downloaded to ronUSMCs web page in the armor referenc section, there are a lot to help with the guns.
don't forget to make the extra links on the front deck, and there is also a hand looking thing on the back door , I'll take more pics during
week and it'll make the build a lot easier .

If you go to general model discussion, then click on ronUSMC's loop: free online image gallery, uploading for everyone.
you can click on any one of the pages for the loop I think they all have a link or two on it?
There is all kinds of goodies there. hope this helps Marine?
