Here's my little Lynx based on the Tamiya M113, chopped and puttied, soon getting on in earnest. A little PE, some tracks from AFV and parts from Maple Leaf
and off we go....sort of

Wow. Can't see any remnants of the old hull. Was it a Tamiya hull? Are you going to use a M901 TC turret?

Next time I'd just scratch the hull, but I've designed so I could make a mold and make as many of the little buggers as I want to...love tha Lynx but I think I still have deisel in my system from driving it. Will keep updating as new things appear.
Thanks for the comments

Jim,
Think I've got all I need but I'll let you know, I'm going to try your technique for weld seams this time.
Thanks again

Wow, that's a modeling challenge ! I'm eager to see more in-progress pics as you go on. It's hard to se you kept something from the original donor kit.

Congrats !
