Having just bought the Italieri 1:72 m113A1 the changed deadline just suits me fine.

This little bucket comes with a partial interiour that im in the progress of improving, besides I will make the alterations to make this a Danish bucket.

This will be my first 1:72 in about 25 years.....

Its generally a fine little kit with good details, but:

some of the parts are a bit on the heavy side, fording plate, crewhatch on roof etc. and needs thinning out.

Roadweels are only singlelayer - will propably not be noticable with sideskirts on

the supplied "link and length" tracks are too short if you want two spare tracks on the hul.

Driver compartment is emty - no seat, controls or instruments.

Some of these issues I plan to deal with.

Hi
what type of Danish bucket do you intend to build ? Is it the one with the 20mm cannon turret ?
I would be glad to see this one and have blueprints if you had such.
I hope you'll have it complete before the deadline, not much time to go !
