Changes made by using part of the original
Started with sratshing the interior. Had only few parts from the sparebox to make a lookalike interior.

Xa CharYes Carlos, this was build by someone else years ago.
I like to save models by giving them a second life 😉

Carlos CisnerosOh even better! Nice job on adding the interior. It's a shame that Tamiya never put that in the original M577 kit.

Dave FlittonThe girly pictures would be massive no-no in the regular Army. We had constant visits from the brass because we were a nuclear unit (Lance) and also an MLRS unit in Germany.

Dave, perhaps they were an official No no, but I sure saw them posted here and there in a vehicle back in the day

Xa CharDave, what a luck for the figurines that this model isn't from the regular army then 😁 It's going to be a Vietnam war version, so I guess back then it was allowed?
