Please tell me you will cast this. The 6V53 NA was used in CDN M-113's.
Fantastic work so far!
cheers

Indeed, the 6V53T was also used in all of the Canadian AVGP variants.

Very nice work! Just have to do a Crossdrive transmission for the M113A3 family...
I'd be interested in getting a copy or two myself if you do make copies

You can never have enough reference pics.
I have access to the parts manual so if you need a specific item such as the turbo or air compressor I might be able to find something for ya.

The engine oil filter was a "Biotch" to change in the AVGPs when the power pack was still in place!
Thank goodness for drain plugs in the hull!
