I'd long been a M113 fan and built the kit way back when, so I jumped at the chance.
We emailed back and forth a bit and he mailed me the kit.

I have to say I have not had so much fun working on a model in a very long time.
First night progress

At first I was just going for an ootb build, but then I realized I had a set of the old Quartermaster Depot placards in the stash, so those came out tonight. More pics as the build progresses.
