I think I have found every online photo of the TOW Mutt, but I cannot find a clear photo of the radios and how the TOW MGS is mounted. I can't tell how accurate the old Tamiya kit is.

Any pics or links would be great!

TIA,
Dave

Here you have the empty base (from http://www.toadmanstankpictures.com/towmutt.htm) :



IIRC, the TOW Mutt is fitted with a AN/PRC-77 installed in a AM-2060 Audio Amplifier/Power Supply (= VRC-64 Radio System) :



I guess this is the setup you can see in this picture :

Thanks, Frenchy.

These are some of the pics I already have. The Toadsman ones were especially teasing since they ALMOST show what I was looking for...
