Pulled these from cybermodeler.com. Obviously this is a trailer mounted unit, but the turret unit is the same as on the M-16 halftrack. If you look at the shots showing the splinter shield you'll see the mount for the gun site, though the site itself is missing. I hope this gives you some ideas for camera mounting and angles.

Thanks Al, those are great. I need to figure out how to mount one in the back of my focus :)

First thing you have to figure out is what to put under the Focus to hold it up. :lol:

After that it's just cutting and mounting. :P

It ain't mine Rob, it's part of the Kruse collection. However, if you'll remember, I skipped Westover to go to a car show. I was driving an M-52 tractor for my friend John while he was driving his tank during that saturdays parade.

Note the mud on the tires. What you can't see is the fact that I plastered the whole back end of the truck. It's been a wet summer. :D

Interesting things are where you find them.

Looks like you had more fun there then I had at Westover. Maybe I should have gone up there! :)

I always have fun with John and the tank. It's powered by a radial aircraft engine so it's almost as good as being at an airshow. :D

Thats cool, I'm assuming thats the Collings one. They just got it delivered and I'm hoping to take a trip to Stow soon and check it out.
