Klaus Eberl shares with us some images of his Chilean Army M113A2 in 1/35th scale. This offering can be considered a Frankenstein model as the parts are from many places.

Did you scribe in the belly plates? I've never seen that style of smoke launchers on a M113 before. Nice details.

Thanks guys

Paul, belly plates are present on the Italeri kit, I've only seen this smoke launchers arrangement on Chilean Army vehicles (mainly M113's and Mowag/Cardoen Piranha II's), I'm guessing it's a local development with german support.

Cheers
