This is my entry in the bucket bonanza campaign. It's Tamiya's 1/35 M113 apc. Built out of the box, the UN was masked and painted and the UN decal came from a 1/48 C-130 hercules kit.

Nice one Mother looks good. Did you get any of the oil for food money? :-)

Seriously nice build, sir.

Very nice looking cracker box. I really like the weathering. Awesome wash job. The spare track looks amazing. Well for that matter, the whole thing looks amazing !

Darn i forgot one part, . Oh well not going to . Lets see how many of you's find it. Easy to spot. I feel like a .

The antenna?

Mother,
It looks really good. One thing though, it is missing the exhaust stack on the square with a hole on top of the radiator grill (right front of hull top). Also, the tow rope is upside down on the rear ramp, hook ends should point up with coil part down. Other than the above, it looks great. I too did a UN M113 in a Balkans theme.

Darn it all, now thats two things missing , antennas and THE EXHUAST, thats what happen when your in a rush. Now i am a for sure.

Ich leibe es! Das ist sehr gut!

I never would have noticed if you hadn't said anything was missing. Just goes to show how well your model looks overall.

Mother,
I think it looks great!

you ever build that 1/48 C-130...thinking about adding one of those to my Christmas list...want to build one like I used to jump from when I was with the eighty-deuce...

Nice build, I didn't notice you miss the exhaust and the antenna before you draw our attention to missing parts

The weathering is awesome. Just one remark if I may, why didn't you apply the same weathering on the rubber skirts as on the rest of the model ? I think they should be more or less dirty/muddy like the bottom of the vehicle.

As far as the antenna is concerned, I never set it in place as I move too often and have enough broken or "unglued" parts to fix after each moves. Lazy one, I know :-)

White is a tough color to work with in my experience. You did a great job.
