I know I'm tardy to the party, but here is an M113 variant I have just about completed.
Canada trialled the AIFV at the end of the 70's, so here is my what-if of an AIFV in Canadian service with 1 RCR Charles Coy during Exercise Rendez-Vous '85.

We'll this build is complete as it is going to get.

Thanks Matt for ramrodding this group build.

Stretched M113 with a BMP2 turret with 30mm auto cannon. Circa early 90's during the US/Canada tensions following the "Molson Incident".

I found the photos on my computer, using a Mac, but I keep getting the message "the category you chose for this photo can't contain photos".
Help?

Thanks, Pete. I figured it was operator error.

Well great. I'm on a work computer and can only upload from photobucket.

So speaking of the Gallery, apparently I'm the first one to attempt posting completed images, or I'm missing the proper category, as there doesn't seem to be a thread for it yet. Is it up to me to start it or is that a campaign leader thing?

You are correct it is a bit average. I will withdraw it from the campaign.


Pete

I have removed image from gallery.
I apologise


Don't pull it from the gallery. it's shouldn't matter if its an unusual or standard M113.

so where is your M113 then Ian?

Well done, Pete. Congrats on finishing!
I'm also calling mine done, pics are of the vehicle on it's base, with the figs and Magach. I may add to the dio in a bit, but the M113 is done.




I guess I need to create an account in the KitMaker Gallery?
