Just a little something I've been working on. Tamiya M106 updated with some Academy parts including the ACAV shields and "floats".

This is my first time using the individual M113 links. Before that it has been the rubber bands and Fruil tracks. Both of which I've had better results with. I'm not at all happy with the way the tracks curve around the drive sprocket and especially the idler wheel where I had the two ends met. Perhaps the other side will look better when I get around to doing it.

Still have the washes and dry brushing along with some detail painting to go.
