Here is my entry for the campain. It will end as a Danish m113 APC in the early eighties. An armored infantry platoon at this time consisted of three m113A2. The one I like to make is the platoon commanders vehicle.
I have chosen this one, because it has a bicycle strapped to the front of the APC. The bike was intended for liaison purpose, although it must truly have been a bummer to do this. The bike themselves were old and very heavy (they were called Pansret mandskabscykel – Armored personnel bike) and had no gears to ease their use.
Another feature unique to Danish M113 at this time is the turret mounted MG. For some time the Danish army did not have a blank firing capability for the .50 cal’s. So to provide some kind of illusion for trials and maneuvers they mounted the LMG instead
So this is my project.
