While looking for the Tamiya M113A1 Austrailian Fire Support Vehicle for Jeff (Ranger74) I found the old Tamiya motorized M113, kit #MT141, hiding in the same box. Hard to believe these things still exist. From the instruction sheet, it looks like the only difference between this kit and the normal Tamiya M113 is the absense of the interior and armored troops sprue and the addition of an "F" sprue that contains a battery box, different drive sprokets and a half drive figure. Of course it also comes with the gearbox and motor. I'll have to save it for my son after he tears up the motorized KV-1C.

Sabot,

I have two of those same kits. I just checked my inventory on an Excel spread sheet. One is destined for conversion to an M901 ITV with the Verlinden kit. The second I haven't decided yet.
