I am beginning to build the M-113 Fitter by Academy in the Australian version and I need to know what the color of the interiors is. Was it the white or light green? Or is it a different color all together?

Hello,

Here's a link to some pictures of an Australian M113 Fitter http://www.argo.net.au/tash/armour/m113/m113.htm .

Thanks hogger this will help. Looks like a light tan (or dirty white) for the walls and white fixtures. The exterior colors are black, dark tan and Aussie OD?

G'day Dave,

Sea Foam Green / light green.mate is about the closest colour for the Fitter in South vietnam. Same as the US ones.
The fitters now days are either white or Green depending on what unit they are. But all rebuilds are now painted gloss white inside.

The Fitter link from hogger99 is ok for todays cars. The tan colour is due to red dust that inbeds itself into the paint.

Cheers Jason

Thanks for the info Jason. I am building a modern version so the color info will help. It looks like there are two tan colors and a black. Is this correct?

Animal,
I will get back to you re the colours mate. FS numbers for the black, light green, and tan/sand.

Cheers Jason

One last question. Did any of the Fitters have the dozer blade attached on them?

G'day Animal,

To answer your question, no, not to my knowledge on the Fitter.
