I like the camo and weathering.

Very nice M-113, a vehicle many modelers hold in esteem. Academy is supposed to re-issue their IDF variant, the "Zelda", in the early fall. Does your model depict an M-113 in Iranian service? And if so, is it an M-113 that took part in the ten year war of the Sacred Defense, or a vehicle of the present day? Happy Iran Armed Forces Day, by the way.

Thank you matt and jphillips.

Hi Vorya,
welcome to Armorama. Good to see some "exotic" models here. Interestingly, your first picture of the real vehicles show a mortar carrier which has a similar hatch as a German Bundeswehr Panzermörser.

Cheers

I found some more Sacred Defense M-113s. In this pic, you can make out some interesting markings - the stylized tulip of the Revolutionary regime, and the inscription, "Allahu akbar." Unfortunately, these are in white.
