Hi guys I'm working on scratchbuilding an M56 scorpion. I've got plenty off walk about pics overall. But I really could use some good shots of the fire wall between the engine and the gun carrage. It's the only place I can't find info on. Thanks for the help Seeya Shane

Sapper, Here are some from the Camp Shelby museum in Mississippi. Not exactly what your asking for but in 2004 this M56 looked really nice when I took these. M56 Camp Shelby MS Joe D

Thanks for the quick response guys. Nice pics Joe saw a couple of things I hadn't noticed before in a couple of your pics. AJ I'm looking for shots inside the crew compartment especially the fire wall or forward bulkhead I guess it could be called. There just isn't any pictures of that area on the net. Thanks Sapper

Thanks for all the help guys the old Revel M56 kit is a little dodgey in some places and it was already previously built by someone else. So I'm only using it as a general guide. Sapper

- bialy-r That is a M56 ? www.modellbauforen.de/...=4;t=15820 Photo from Militärhistorischen Museum der Bundeswehr, Dresden (Germany) Sure looks like one. It appears to have been converted into a driver's training vehicle. _________________ Chris "toadman" Hughes www.toadmanstankpictures.com www.cafepress.com/toad...ksandstuff
