It's been carefully traced and measured to fit on Academy's M113A3 hull and fuel tanks - not sure if it would fit over Tamiya's (I don't have the kit)

Resizing required to fit onto an A4 paper. After which, you might wanna cut and paste it onto a letter sized paper.

Thanks! Just added more holes, I think two more not added. I don't have visuals of the front (yet)... rear too?

I think I've found some images that will help for the front ones (lower and the upper sides). Will update the image above when I can. I'm working on an M113A3 right now, so the progress will be on-going...

Image updated. PHEW!

The holes on the lower front is based on a good front image, so they are correct. Any more of this, it's going to look like a paper model... Lol

You're welcome!

One thing however, I think the image has been shrunk upon uploading... So, I think it's not going to print 1/35... I'll cut the images up piece-meal, hopefully those won't shrink. Otherwise, can anyone suggest how I should do this? What is the maximum image size I can upload to the Armorama account?

Cheers,

Lawrence

Reason being, Academy did include the holes on the ramp itself, except for the door... queer, eh?

Btw, I can't upload the images properly, they are resized automatically (I don't know how to prevent that) so that you can't print them as it is...

I've cropped the lines for the parts piece meal as well as a full A4 sheet for easy printing. I'll host them on my website in due time (right now I'm lacking web space on my site).

Anyone care to host the images on their site? The only condition is, please post a link here so that modelers can access it. (934Kbytes altogether)

I don't want to open up an image account because I doubt I'll use them frequently... can't remember passwords too well as I've got too many to remember.

Problems settled, I've decided that I must have at least one online web album....

Right click away folks!
