Kind regards,Sven!

Sven, cool to see you are into IDF. As for extras, I would definitelly suggest getting new tracks, Modelkasten or Friuls come to mind... I have both sets for my M163, first I got Modelkasten but figured they are just too much work and then decided to get the Friuls too as they were only 18EUR at Moson show.

Yeah,Mario i like IDF alot,i have this kit for severall months now,got it as a gift before i even started modelling,thanks for the suggestion,i will ask one of my buddies to get it for me!
Thanks for reply,Sven!

I built that kit with the Eduard photo-etch sets. It came out looking great. Here is a link showing the finished build:

Have fun with this build, there are lots of opportunities with it.

Sven;
Well this kit,is fairly well detailed OOB,. It will let you build (2) different Fitters from the IDF. With different stowage added to the sides you can build a
Chatap Maint vehicle from IDF. You can build the origonal test vehicle from US.
Other foreign use includes a Belgian M806, or Dutch of the same. To blend different items from several M113 types you could build an Dutch YPR806 MRV. This vehicle has the Float sponson on the left side to counteract the crane., a 11.5' blade on the front, a recovery winch inside the vehicle, spades on either side of the rear doar. Personally, this is the type that I will add to my conversion/ build list, to add to my collection. If U have more interest and want photos send me a mess. and I will fwd what I have for you to review. Todd

Thanks everyone!
Todd>i would like to make a Israeli vehicle!
