Most of the differences were well covered above. My M813 on 14.00s has a top speed near 70, however personally I do not feel comfortable driving it that fast, even though it is nice and stable. The truck itself seems to like 57 as a cruising speed, and I have no reason to push it. My two...

Tim, believe it or not, I have them on both sides! :D They were a little wonky to start with, but some careful work on them with a body hammer and a piece of wood as a forming anvil and they came out pretty straight. I imagine they'd be easy to replicate, using these ones as patterns. Cheers

While the M715 project is pretty much finished, it appears I have been remiss in posting my updates! The first picture attached was actually supposed to go on the last post, oops! And I referred to things like chain covers without putting in pictures. On November 10th, the Marine Corps...

My durned voting finger is getting all sore and cramped from hovering, moving, moving back, hovering, moving again......!

That does NOT sound like fun! Wishing you the best for a speedy and full recovery. Cheers

Fair enough! :) Cheers

B3.3T, what is the story on the M37 style headlights on the USAF museum V? Cheers

Pawel, your model is absolutely beautiful! Your attention to detail and your abilities to reproduce it are outstanding. I'm glad to have been able to contribute to your project, and hope you will share the E1 version here when you build it. Cheers

This is true restoration! Cheers

Welcome aboard! Cheers

Absolutely splendid! A tidbit regarding weapons - in the Army version, the driver often had an M79 grenade launcher. It fit in the gun rack between the front seats, and is seen in many period Vietnam photos on or hanging from his open hatch cover. Cheers

Congratulations to Migginsbros on the win! What a great showing by all three contestants this month. [thumbzup] Cheers

This is great! Everyone is definitely still in the race. and more voters than usual this month. Cheers

That said, it also follows Navy pattern, so now I've muddied the water again. An example on the tailgate of one my M715s Cheers

The intricate detail, and your application of that, is very truly impressive. I love all the little gems, like the canteen labels. Splendid work! Sorry for the late reply, I missed the post on the 16th. ;) Cheers

That is a really cool shelter! Cheers

Miggins, I am trying very hard to suppress my jealousy! I love that thing! Cheers

WillWagner covered the essentials well above. I will add that, in my personal opinion based on driving my M109A3 and M185A3 for many years, stick with the duals on the back. The trucks are "tippy" with that big heavy box on there, and having driven another chap's M109 with singled 11.00s on...

Only two nominations, and I'd still have to struggle to make a choice! Cheers

A slight delay from paint curing completely, then rain, then birthing some late calves. So, finally time to put the bed liner on. This entailed removing the troop seats, and a lot of masking, then wrapping the whole truck in a cocoon. No chance of overspray! ;) The liner is the tintable...
