dose anyone know of a company that produces an interior for this kit. its not that complex but my scratch building skills suck… thanks for any help
Haven’t seen anything out there yet.
Good luck. Maybe, you could make a master and cast
it in resin for others?
I though I remember AEF Designes having something but a check of their web sight killed that idea. Phlip… if i had the skills to scratch build an interiour, i’d be more than happy to share with others. But alas, thats beyound my abilities at this point in time
I don’t believe that an interior for this kit exits. However do a search for Hobby Fan. They may make an interior. Good luck and let us know if you do find an interior.
I’ve got an amtrac sitting on the shelf waiting for an interior, and I too, don’t feel up to the scratch building required for it (yet). I’ve looked around for an AM interior, no luck yet, but maybe someone else out there will get lucky. If you do find one, let us all know!
Kaleu…I bought the add-on armour for the exterior from Hobby fan,didn’t see an interior.might be worth a second look. thanks
Join the club…
Not that hard to scratch guys, really. I have done a driver and commander’s interior, inserted through the rear hatch like a ship in a bottle, 'cause I had glued the top on before I decided to detail it. (Doh). Once you got the floor, step up and wall in place the rest is easy. You don’t see a great deal through the hatches, particularly with a crew in it.
The rear is mainly the bench seats, etc. Lets face it, unless you pop the top hatches (do they ever do that?) the inside will be dark toward the front and the detail will not need to be exact. If you open only the ‘priest gate’ on the rear hatch, almost nothing will be seen. The real challenge is the lack of exterior detail. The inside of the forward hatches, mesh intake screens, step up rial, incorrect wheels, Exhaust stack, etc.
AFV Interiors had great sketches and pics. I have a copy of all that if anyone wants it (email me).
I was a mechanic on P7-A1’s for 6 years, many were the time that we had the cargo hatches open.during training exes, we opened them to let the grunts to stand-up on bench seats and train their weapons outward. during ship-ops (training on leaving a ship w/troops and transitting to shore and back) we would open hatches while waiting to go on ship so the exhaust fumes and rocking motion would not make grunts puke. he he he he …allways was a funny thing to see.
I was going to say that when we rode around in them, especially if we weren’t near water, the top hatches were always open. Only so much diesel exhaust us grunts can take, not like those greasy track toads. I was never so happy as when I was with boat company on the MEU and didn’t have to splash in those metal coffins anymore.
LemonJello…It used to be a domino effect, once the first grunt would let go into his helmet. All the rest fell like dominos. Another prank was to put a large washer in the cargo hatch seal just before launching off ship. once we launched and water started spraying past the seal,would wait and see how many grunts would freak and think we were sinking. old time grunts knew this was coming and would play alongjust to mess with the newbies
Yeah, we’d play all kinds of dirty tricks on the new guys, or the ones that got really seasick. I always felt better knowing someone riding with me was more worried than I was about something, be it sinking, crashing, getting sick. But I will admit, I’d rather ride than walk, and we did entirely too much walking! Ahh, the memories…
check the squadron site/ reviews, they have some one did a nice job of the interior.
