Accurate Armour made a resin kit (actually kits) An M114 and an M114A1. I'm not sure if they are still available from Accurate Armour, but they still pop up on Ebay every now and then.

Heres one I did several years ago.

They're listed on the website! K030E and K030V are the stock numbers.

Thanks guys!!
This is such a cool lookin little track IMHO and has always captured my imagination ever since I saw one on display as a maskot when I was stationed in Baumholder in the 70s.
It is sort of like an M113 "lite" but the older NCOs in my company that were in Nam said it was regarded as a POS deathtrap. Which ,of course,is probably why it was a maskot on our base instead of on active duty.
I don't think the price of a resin kit will let me build one though. Maybe when they release a plastic Bergepanther they will also release one of these?

Jerry,

Maybe it will appear at the same time we see an injection-moulded FV 432 APC........

Cheers,
Chris

Yes,a FV 432 would be very logical as they ere in service for a long time and had many variants but....it's not German and there are no pointing WSS officers.
