LSP_K2 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Just out of curiosity, what references did you use when building this? I have the TM 9-760 Mark 5 technical document and several photos snatched from the web, but definitely interested in more. kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
