This is the Academy M-113 Command and Control with the Verlinden update set and Eduard PE. I will also be adding a set of Fruil tracks later. Th Verlinden set was good, with the parts having much better detail than the the kit parts. Unfortunately, you need good reference pics to back up the Verlinden instructions.











The ariel and the location of the radio rack have since been corrected.

Link not work....I saw the pics copying in the browser, neat build....hope you´re saving M113 ideas for Bucket Bonanza 2006 next semester

Cheers

Eric,Klaus, thank you for your comments, and i have another idea for a M-113 in that campaign Klaus, how does a Danish M-113 with add on armour sound? I saw this done in Graeme Davidsons book and have always wanted to attempt one. I have the resin update from AA, jsut need to decide whether or not to scratch builkd the add on armour.

Great progress on the M113 Ethelian. I like the way you are doing up the interior, especially the floor.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product. You planning on adding any figures in there?

Looks like a lot of work! Looks damn good too..........sheesh, those 113's are tempting me towards modern..........nice build!

Vinnie

C'mon yer old fart.....you know you want to.

How long are you going to keep us waiting for a build article on vehicles that arent in the musuem yet?

Vinnie,Jazza, thank you for your comments, it means a lot to get positive comments from you both. Vinnie, normally i do nto build a lot of Modern Armour, but there are so many variations of the M-113 that they are almost like the Skfz 251 series, have the same versatility . Jazza, as to the figures? Not sure yet, i am not very good with figure painting and from the limited looking i have done, there does not seem to be a huge choice. I will have a look round Trucks n Tracks at the end of Feb and see if there is any there that i could do.
