M577 Command post car (rebuild & scratsh interior)
This is the model prior any work done by me
It needed a new roof plate...
Details taken from the donor kit.
I've made an opening for the commander, but it's too big, so this need to change....

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.

Made a new radio set, more like in the '70s. I use what I have in stash, so it's not all correct. If it looks the part...
All pieces together, inside ready for primer
Back in black
Started with the inside
Radios installed and some paperwork/manuals
Some Vietnam maps and more...
Started with some chipping...

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

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

The 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.

God bless the centerfold in a Track 😉👍🏼
Dave, perhaps they were an official No no, but I sure saw them posted here and there in a vehicle back in the day

Dave, 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?
