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. 
After that it's just cutting and mounting.

Heh, how about a 2002 Ford Focus ZX3 Half-track?

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.
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.

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.

Good detail shot of the gunsight on it's mount. Now you can see what I was trying to explain to you at Nashua Scott.
