Guys!

Does anyone have a walk-around of a P-38J? I need photos of its landing gears and its 'bahay ng landig gear' (stupid newbie me, sorry duno what its called). I need photos of its cockpit innards also.

I also need interior pictures of the M163A2.

If anyone have materials on these or at least a web link that I can visit, help naman po.

Nung isang araw pa nga ako nag se-search eh [I've been searching since the other day], but still can't find an interior for the M163A2. The kit I bought have a closed turret bottom, so I'm wondering how the gunner/commander gets inside the turret from inside the APC.

This project is a kit-bash between a Tamiya M113ACAV and a Academy M163A2 Vulcan SPAAG. I need the Tamiya's interior and Academy's Turret/upper hull. I'm going to display it with the ramp and all hatches open, that's why I need to see the interior of the turret.

Thanks for any help anybody can provide.

Try mo Major Rob's Motorpool kung di mo pa nasubukan. I think that it has basically the same interior as the M113 except maybe for the turret. Hope this helps.

hi lipton
the bahay ng landing gear is also called wheel well. so you are an armourer shifting to A/C?

@Cardinal

I checked the link and found most of what I need. Thank you very much.

Here's an alternative for others who want to do the same M163a1/2 project in the future:

[url]http://www.ifrance.com/ArmyReco/Amerique_du_nord/Etats_Unis/vehicule_artillerie/M163_AA/M163_Etats_UNIS_pictures_photos.htm[url]

Looks like the gunner really needs to get into the turret from the top of the vehicle, or maybe I missed something, correct me please if I'm wrong.

@riversphynxz

Ok, thanks I will remember that, so wheel well in filipino is 'balon ng gulong'? he he he :-)

No. I'm not shifting to a/c, armors will always be my first love. I'm trying to learn a/cs para may variety naman sa hobby ko, and I learned a/c is like a different animal to handle. In the future try ko naman ang ships inggit ako sa carrier ni Mang Ernie eh :-)

Guys,

Thank you all for the info/support you gave me regarding this projects. All in all I have all the references I need, many many thanks.

Good day!
