hey guys i'm new here and need some help. i've just bought the avenger missile sytem from italeri in 1/35 scale and i need your help.

the back story: i was in the army 10 years ago as an avenger repair person (then a mos 27T now 94T) and a modeler,and while i was in i tried to find a model of the avenger to do up to no avail. i tried scratch building one since i worked with them every day and had all the reference i could stand.but my skills at that where not so good back then.so stupid me didn't get any reference photos back then. flash forward ten years. i was walking through my local hobby shop and what should i spy, but a avenger model!!!!! needless to say it came home with me and now i haven't got access to an avenger.

the problem: the model is pretty darn accurate as far as the truck is concerned. i have to scratch a few items for in the cab of the truck that are avenger specific,mainly the rcu. http://www.fas.org/spp/starwars/docops/fm44-100-2fd/3-10.jpg but when it comes to the avenger, the outside is pretty good (the cooing unit is one generation to old) but when it come to the inside of the avenger it's absolutely horrendous!!! it might have well been empty!! so i went to google and i could find all kinds of reference of the outside of the avenger but i could only find one view of the front of the interior. 500&sz=45&hl=en&start=20&tbnid=DU0N4Wx7dgAb1M:&tbnh=127&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dhmmwv%2Bavenger%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D18%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26start%3D18 what i really need is views of the sides and the back of the interior of the avenger.

so if any one here has done this model how did you do your interior? or does any one her have pics of the interior of the avenger? or is some one her still in and have access to avengers and could take some pics for me? just don't get yourself in trouble. i know about opsec and the only thing that i know that was confidential on the avenger was th iff, which mos of the avengers don't have installed in them unless they go to combat. but if you could do this for me please check with your platoon sargent first.

Roger try searching on Google for "Avenger US military", I don't know exactly what interior shots you are after but the first site that came up showed pictures of the gunners position. I have not listed sites here as there was just to many and you are the only person who knows exactly what you are after.
