Hi folks,

The clock it´s ticking gentleman, less than a month to start.

Get those Buckets/Papa Chucks off the shelf, collect your reference pics, get ready your glue, paints, airbrush, etc, and be prepared to have a lot of fun!...remember, this is a "Rest Of the World" M113 campaign, any time frame. NO US/Israeli vehicles will be admitted,

Here´s the ribbon I´ve prepared to award all succesful entries, size will be adjusted soon (I hope):



and the link to campaign´s rules and regs

HERE

If you have questions or comments previous to the start date, please post them here

Cheers to all

As I understand it, even a garden variety M113 can be entered as long as the markings are of a non-US/IDF vehicle?

Yes Robin, even a hippie painted M113 if you want :-)

More seriously, the only condition is it has to be a NON US/IDF vehicle....and of course, start from June 1st

For information, I´m going to build a NATO AIFV and a "Frankenstein" M106A1 (with bits from Tamiya & Academy) painted with chilean markings...and maybe scratch a chilean M577A2 if I have the time....

Cheers

I have 10 different Norwegian versions of the M-113 in the garage, so this is a campaign I'm looking forward to. I thought of building a engineer vehicle (NM 205), but I think I will go for the TACP version (NM 201) just to irritate barv... :-) :-) :-)

Cheers
Erik

I'm going to dig the old Tamiya M113A1 Fire Support Vehicle out of the stash.

Many possibilities; Swiss Schutzenpanzer, NM 135, NM142 or VCC-1.
