Hello guys, this is my first model in years. Is the M113 ACAV from Tamiya (please a better kit soon!!) build OOB with Legend Production accesories. Paint only with brushes, using Humbrol enamel, acrylics for the mud, and weathering with Humbrol and chalks:

Love the M113s.
Quietly it may be my most built kit going back 25 years at least.

Adrian-- great job! One point, you might want to replace the cargo hatch chain. The molded one does not represent the release activation device. Just a thought.
Well done!

If you are into M113's the Academy kits are newer and IMHO better than the old Tamiya kits. And the price is similar or lower.

Looks good! I just got the M113 OIF version, hopefully I can make it look as decent as yours. Good job on the model!
