Hi everybody,

I really love the M113 series, but all kits available have lots of room for improvement.
Apart from the obvious aftermarket sets - Eduard PEs and Friul tracks, I am aware of some resin items by Mouse House.
What else is there, what did I miss? I'd be also glad to hear about conversion kits I may not have come across so far.

thank you in advance!

I'd say you're spot on with the Eduard pe, but your start point would have to be the Academy M113's, They seem to be the most accurate, and have great interiors too.
Fruil, ModelKasten and AFV do tracks, Legend have some great resin bits to go in and on; OIF/modern, IDF and Vietnam eras...

Thank you Richard, all those stowage sets by Legend look great, I should try to get my hands on some of these.
