Nice stuff you've got here once again Lawrence ! Just one remark : there are three B&W pics showing Two Zero Alpha "Snoopy" M113A1 (ARN # 134350) in Michael K. Cecil's "Australian Military Equipment Profiles Vol.4" all of them show much smaller "20" and "A" on each side (but those on the rear ramp are the same size as in your set as far as I can tell) and triangles instead of squares. The Snoopy drawing (same as in your set) is only on the left side. Two of the pics are dated 1971. Looks like markings had been modified as time passed according to the allocation : "Snoopy"appears in a June 1970 "B" Squadron listing and in a August 1971 "A" Squadron listing ...Something to keep in mind for a accurate build period-wise.

Great decals!

Frenchy is right about the "snoopy" appearing on the drivers side only. I don't have my copy of Cecil's Aussie m113 book in front of me now but I know the photos you're referring to. I believe that this 20A with the red squares is a different Snoopy from the one with the blue triangles. I'll have to go pull the book out.

Snoopy

Guess I'll have to pick up a couple of the M706 kits, I'd like to build Budweiser and Ugly Duck. Both had .50s monted on top.....

The Ugly Duck
and one version of
Budweiser

Check out the rest of the site for the others.....

The Rwanda Carrier sheets are great value - there's enough to do two complete carriers and plenty left over. I'm in the throes of building the Rwanda carriers (a fitter and 31A), and these decals are a Godsend!

Very nice! After all of the OD with white markings, I have forgotten that in-transition period between the white markings and camo of the 70s-- the black markings were used for a short time. I think I've found the markings I've been waiting for, for my V-100!
