and my good friend Ron, Iron Division Resins will pick up where he left off at the time of his passing.
So, to start the new 1/35th scale lineup, the new M-577A1 Interior/Exterior and rear Shelter/Tent section are underway and will be available at the end of June. This will be a full conversion for the Academy M-113 kits.
More news to come!

What happened to Miliminis range of M113 interior and exterior update sets? As far as I know these masters were sold, but they never appeared on the market under a different label.

I have no clue Mario. I packed those up and sent them off myself and can't remember anymore who bought them. I do remember the guy saying something about starting up his own resin business.
Oh well, I'll be hitting the M-113 series hard in the coming months. There's always plenty to do with them! Also have an M-37 Truck master in-progress at the corner of my workbench.

Sounds good!
The M113 is deserving enough to have these offerings!

Wait until you see what's coming! Once I get rolling on a subject, there's no stopping.

Sounds great. I wish you much success. How about some updated Bradley interiors. I had sent a bunch of pics to Ron before his unfortunate passing, I could send them to you as well.

The smoke generator system is high on my M-113 conversion list, just have to hit the more popular ones first and go from there.
Bradley interiors? Like to get me paws on good shots of the more modern version interiors. Heck, those wouldn't take long at all.

Mario
The guy who ran/runs CSM designs brought the moulds for the interiors of the M113 that Ron created.
I did email him a few months back about when they would be available but never got an answer.
I've just checked and his website is no longer on line so I don't know what's happening.
A real shame as they were great interiors and I had planned to get a few from Ron but was waiting for him to release a few more set and place a big order.
I will be keeping an eye out for your releases Bob.
Cheers

The M37 sounds interesting. Need any detail shots of a real one, let me know. (At least until mine is sold....)

AN M37!!!!!!!! count me in for that one. How about looking at mortar track upgrades? Specially the 81mm used so often instead of the 4.2" one.

Hi david,
I did all of those Masters for Ron and they won't be at all too difficult to make again. Might as well do them alongside the M-577 since they are already underway.
Gary, I had planned on doing an M-106A1/A2 conversion for the Academy M-113's after the M-577. Of course since finding out that the old Miliminis M-113 upgrades were never released, might have to "backtrack" alittle bit. Finding good detailed info on the M-125 with the 81mm is like pulling teeth out of a live gator!
Somebody owns a real M37 out there? Have to send ya a PM later on! Some of my body measurements might be a tad off.
Gino, my email is [email protected]. Thank you guys!

Not a problem. Might as well while I'm making new M-113 upgrade sets.
