Once again, Concord Publications is bringing us the first in what should be a highly useful series of books with the modern armor modeller in mind.....

In Concord's highly regarded Armor at War Mini Series comes a very welcome new addition:

M113 in the 1990s (Part 1)

The subject of the book (the first in a promised series) covers one of the most ubiquitious vehicles in recent history - the M113.
Since its inception in the 1950s, the M113 series has gone through a constant evolution. More than 40 variants have been fielded or mooted and is still in service with more than 50 nations....It is also surprising to note than more than 80,000 vehicles have been built.

The book (as its title suggests) covers the decade of the 19990s. Representative vehicles (and variants) of American, Canadian, German, Danish and Norwegian variants are covered in this book.

Contents and Details

M113 in the 1990s (Part 1) consists of 52 pages, 153 color photos, 4 color plates and a set of 1/35th scale plans the latter is becoming (happily) mandatory for books of this type these days...

Hopefully we will see Concord producing a number of companion volumes of this vehicle the 1960s would be a nice place to start....
