Dragon 1/72 M2A2.... help!

Modeling Subjects Armor
1

Ok, so I’ve been working on this all week, and I’ve hit a major speedbump: there is no Interior detail, yet there is wonderful detail on the inside of the back hatch.

I’ll say it again: there is NO interior detail, and I can’t for the life of me find a detail set online.

Any suggestions would be nice, as I would like to display this little guy with the back ramp (hatch?) down.

thanks in advance.

Believe it or not, your only chance for an M2A2 interior to add to your Dragon M2A2 is to buy the Trumpeter M2A2 and steal its interior.

Thanks for the assist.

I went ahead and looked up the Trumpeter kit. Looks great, but is it really discontinued? The only place I could find to buy it was on Ebay, with lots of choices. Just to play it safe, are there any other options out there? I don’t want to hinge my hopes on one kit that’s available only on Ebay.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Has anybody built the Trumpeter kit and can provide pics of the interior while under construction?

Thank you for all the help. Directing me to that Trumpeter model was excellent. I also found great pics online. Although I didn’t go with the Trumpeter model (buying a $20 model so I can use its interior on a $10 model doesn’t make much sense), it gave me the pictures I needed to scratch build my own interior.

PICS: (with a Stormtrooper for scale)

Again, Thanks for all the assistance. You all gave me the confidence to do my first kitbash-scratchbuild.

I’d probably:

A) Build kit as is.

B) Paint interior black.

C) Put TC type figure in open hatch.

D) Move on to the Trumpadump kit opened up with full interior, seeing that you’re going to buy it anyway.

But that’s just me. [8-)]
