Considering that there are at least two conversions for this vehicle available, I'm not sure if this is the best subject choice. But it looks quite nice indeed, although the proper interior of the turret (with the turret ring) doesn't seem to be the included (like it is e.g. in Mouse House conversion).

Really great conversion set,

If you have a look at the homepage of mmk you will see more photos and you get an complete turret with interiour. Looks awsome. There is an pdf with instructions and all parts are listed you get. Also you get all radios, seat belts for the seats etc. You get all you need for an Australian M113 in Vietnam. I have all the other conversion sets from them for an V100 and these are really great.

Must have for me too.

And this may sound harsh, but just dropping the V100 T-50 turret on to the top of the hull and adding a couple of other parts is not even remotely close or accurate.

And I'm not saying this as the competition, but as a modeller and ex crew member.
