Dick,
I've sent the images to you because for some reason I can not even sign in to PB with the info you sent.
Cheers from Peter

As I had mentioned when sending the outdated text direction "out of date" is the key words. The member name remained the same the password changed a couple of years ago back. I will resend the email I sent earlier with the User and Password info. This should get you in next time you need to post images.
I've received many emails asking what your real first name is rather then addressing you as Peter or PeterTareBuilder.
All the best,
Dick . . .

Peter,
Griffon models makes two different photoetch sets to enhance this kit. Just wanted to throw it out there in case you hadn't see it. One is very expensive at about $50 and the other not too bad at around $17. Can't wait to see that on one of the builds!

There's a PMMS on-line review of the Dragon kit that included these images of a build-up plus the aftermarket gun barrels..
AFV Club has released two Viet Nam era models with a Maxon Quad 50 turret, an M548 "Tracked" Gun Truck (Kit # 35S32) and an M35A1 Gun Truck (Kit #35034). I have both of these (unbuilt) and the Dragon M55 gun trailer kit (also unbuilt). I just compared the gun sprues from the Dragon and AFV kits and there doesn't seem to be much difference. The guns may be a little better in the Dragon kit, but that doesn't matter much if you use one of the barrel upgrade kits. The trailer portion of the M548 kit is resin cast and I recall that there was no actual trailer portion in the M35A1 kit (that one is in a large box in storage). Again, the actual trailer portion shouldn't matter for this discussion. The AFV kits seem to be available on-line, possibly at lower prices than the Dragon M16 kit.
Some pictures of the AFV stuff follow, hopefully I have them embedded properly in this message..
