Any info regarding the wheel base and other information regarding details and dimensions from back of cab to end of tractor. Sources for any detail parts and down loadable pictures. To sum up, any assistance will be hugely appreciated.
Thanks, Earl
For pictures I suggest primeportal.net
Another site I might suggest is the blueprints or blueprints.com or something like that... All kinds of good stuff on those two site.

Two other places you might try- I believe this is sort of an armor subject, so I'd query the armor forum. And, the second from the last/bottom forum of the Fine Scale Forums is Reference, so you might try a query there, too.

Thanks Stikpusher- I have been trying to obtain information for this "scratch build" for sometime.
I appreciate the response and the details provided.
Regards,
Earl
Thanks Don, I have it posted in the Armor forum but I had not thought of the Reference section. Thanks for your help. Is it getting warmer in Minnesota yet? It has been a horrible winter all over most of the states.
No, spring has come and gone. It was 17F this morning when I went out to get the paper. I have been moaning about the weather in the photography forum, since I like to do "realistic" photos with backdrops, and use direct sunlight, so I have to take photos in back yard. The snow finally melted last week, but it has been cloudy and very windy ever since. Yeah, plastic models are high wing loading compared to the balsa flying models I used to build, but these winds are more than enough to pick up a plastic model and send it flying!
Don,
I hear you, we had snow this morning but it did not cause any problems. This has been a winter from hell.
Hello Earl!
There's a site called tpub.com - maybe you could get a TM for that baby from them. The content changes constantly, but once I got a service manual for the M110 from them. Hope it helps, have a nice day

Thanks Mike for your help. I've been having trouble finding the M978 eduard interior and exterior details. I can only find them on ebay and they all seem to come from China. Do you have a source in the states or anywhere but ebay? Thanks again Mike.

I bought 2 sets of each for my M977 and M978

Mike,
Once again, thank you for your help which is always appreciated.
No problem Earl. The exterior set even includes the Oshkosh plate found on all the Hemtt variants that isn't included on the plastickit.
Now what you have to do someday is the airfield firetruck version of the Hemtt.
Thanks Mike,
I decided to set that aside to start my M109 Vietnam Italeri kit. Just got started on it and I am starting to to find reference materials. I bought Verlindens War Machines No. 1 and your discussions about Kinetics parts is something I have to look into. The M109 was my first assignment being in the FDC section, but that was in 1965 and my memory of details is not what it used to be. I have bought the barrel from Barrel Depot, but no other detail parts as of yet. I will check out the Kinetics web site for the tracks. I know this does not relate to the Hemmt, but I just had the urge to build the M109 first.
Best regards,
While looking for some info for myself I came across just the right TM that made me think about you and your question. And it IS on tpub! It's poorly formatted and lacks overall pictures, but it's detail pictures are just the thing. It comes in parts, here are the links:
trucks10ton.tpub.com/.../index.htm
You can find more manuals here:
trucks10ton.tpub.com/index.htm
By the way, it seems that the Italeri model is not very accurate when it comes to the chassis - the model lacks air brakes, steering gear, torque rods on the suspension and stuff like that. Some crossmembers aren't the right shape, too. Most of the people probably don't mind, but I like my trucks accurate from all sides, you know.
Anyhow I hope this info helps you or somebody else working on a HEMTT - good luck with your projects and have a nice day
Thanks Pawel, you are always a good friend who remembers what I am working on. I will check out the sites you gave me. I hope that you are well and doing fine. How is your truck coming along?
Have a great day Pawel,
Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing guys. I'm trying to scratch a HEMMT by 'upscaling' using a 1:72 Academy kit as reference. With all the variants based on the standard vehicle, I think I'll need to create some tooling just so I can make dupes!
