Superb bit of scratch-building Carlos
Those four things on the bonnet (hood in US parlance in think) are interesting... Supports for resting a stretcher across it maybe? or Sand mats?

Re: IDF TOW M151
Stuart, that is the only possible use I can see for those fittings, but then that requires putting the ground mount tripod somewhere else. And I don’t see those fittings on any other IDF M151s, aside from the TOW types.
And thank you!
And thank you!

Looks great in primer! Lot's of gear there. Is that a tripod on the drivers fender? For the TOW?
Thanks,

Re: IDF TOW M151
Thanks John. Yeah, this thing sure got busy once it’s loaded up. And yes, that is a tripod for the TOW ground mount system. I don’t know about Bradley’s. But the M113 and M901 TOW tracks carried everything needed to set up a ground mount as well as the M151 did.

Re: IDF TOW M151
That looks fabulous in primer Stik! I take it you'll have to break out the brushes to paint some of that detail?

Re: IDF TOW M151
Thanks Stuart. Yes, lots of brush painting ahead starting tomorrow. I airbrushed on the sand base coat yesterday.

Re: IDF TOW M151
So this past Saturday So Cal AMPS did our monthly Zoom meeting build session. So during the meeting I did an airbrush session, including applying the IDF Sand Gray base color
Yesterday was a day away from the bench, and today I did most of the rest of the detail colors
I'll get more done tomorrow...
