M56 Scorpion
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

What details are you looking for? I can get to a (decently run-down) vehicle tomorrow or this weekend if nobody has what you need.
