I started to blog academy's M113 Fitter and i lost intereast with the build.
I picked it back up and made some drastic changes and this is where i am at:
The Drum where the wire hoses on is upside down and becuase its not glud down so it moved when I moved the m113 for photography
Comments are welcome I will do some more to it tomorow as well as the Scimitar

Hey James thats a great fitter, a model that I've wanted to build for a while. Fantastic job. But i would say that since it is a M2 HB .50 cal, the charging handle and both grips for firing the weapon would be a wood color. Other than that fantastic work.

a while back somebody here posted a link to virtually every type of .50 cal mount used. i looked at it and it was some pretty good info and drawings. i am sure i saved it but it is currently eluding me. maybe someone else will remember it. if i find it i will post back.

Looks clean so far. Is this going to be a Canadian or an Australian Fitter?
