Hello everyone

I plan to build a conversion of a M-113 into a Danish M-113 G3 DK in the KFOR PSO version.

(Thanks Howitzer.DK for the pic)
I have already looked on various websites for some conversion sets or kits but haven't found any yet. I have found a build of the M92 PNMK build by Sven Young on track link. So I know there is a conversion set. I don't have his adress so I can't contact him.

I'm looking for the side an front add on armour is there anyone who can help
me?

Thanks Roel

In "Modelling the M113" the author built the additional armor from stryrene and PE mesh.

The relevant parts in the MR Modellbau Schutzenpanzer conversion are decent but the kit retails for around $60 over here. I was hoping they would release it as a separate kit but not that I have heard of.

Do you want a picture of the kit armor parts?

Besides being expensive it's unaccurate for a Danish M113 too. The side armour is about a mm too thin, sadly.

Hello guys

Thanks for the help this far.
@Paul: could please post the pics? I would be interested in a image of that M113 from the book if possible.
@Pierre: Looks really nice you're M92. Do you have a website who sells that conversion from Mr Modell Swiss Schpz 63/89 for up amor?

@Kenneth: M-113 G3 DK is that the correct name for the danish M113 in the KFOR role?

Thanks for the help

Cheers R.

Hello guys

first of all thanks for the help and the answers. The are of great help. I have searched for the MR conversion kit but I have 2 problems with it. First of all it's to expensive, and second more important reason it is not accurate. I'm thinking of scratching the whole add on armour to give it the correct details. I just think the side armour is not going to be easy
Does anyone have an idea of a company that has mesh in this form?

Thanks Roel
