At least one Producer has now reacted to the plea of many modelers for a new M 113 kit.

I believe it would be a very good basis for the Australian type, but I am not that familiar with their M 113 familiy.
Danish and German (only a few) vehicles would represent a direct copy of this kit.

For myself this kit would be the basis for the Danish ambulance version.

The Danish version uses the Diehl 513B tracks....they are included in the kit.

The Danish M113s in Afghanistan have been upgraded to the Soucy track.

It looks pretty nice - I would like to see, however the reg. version refreshed or even a plastic M113A3.....

The tan parts look alot like the Academy ones....

The Canadian MTVL series of M113A3s are different...the rear hull has been re-shaped. It would take some further cutting and structural changes to make it an MTVL.
