Hello,
I'll make my semi-annual plea for the one person out there in the whole world who has a complete, modelers eye, set of IDF M113 Zelda APC (preferably with the perforated Toga armor) interior pictures.
I've got loads of detail pics of US versions from all the requisite references and pics from the interior of the one at APG. I've even got a mish-mashed few tantalizing shots of different vehicles taken at IDF open houses, but nothing comprehensive on one particular vehicle.
Replies here or via email would be great.

Mike

hello !
I'm not sure but I think that between 1 and 3 weeks ago more or less the same question was asked, and someone came with that link :
http://www.webone.com.au/~myszka/IDF/Research/M113/IDF.htm

I hope it helps !

Penpen,
Thanks for the link, very helpful images.
I'm not sure how I missed that going past..

But I'll keep looking for the ubiquitous 113 Zelda APC w Toga armor interior too...

Excellent!

(In a brookyln accent) Dat's whut I'm tawkin' about!

So there is more than one M113 with the comm box on the commanders seat post.

Any idea what's in that canvas bag under it? I've got a pic with the bag missing, but a metal frame there about that size.

The whole rt side is filled with ammo boxes, the bottom row is 50cal and then 2x rows of 7.62mm.

got any more? -grin-

Thanks,
Mike
