US M113 ACAV Support Vehicle

Great Model to build. Lots of detail and accesories like sspare parts and other small things. Has a modern and a vietnam decals so you can build whatever one you want. One issue I had is that you had to punch out holes for the M60 machine guns and that was kindy tricky. All and all it is a great model.

i built the old kit, and only had one issue with the roof going on, but its still a good kit none the less,the guns are very detailed, along with the new figs (1old 50 cal with old sprues, new sprue- 1 50 cal, 2 m60 machine guns, a m16, a ak-47, and a rpg, and it also comes with some soda cans and a pack of cigarettes, which the decals for come with the kit), so its a pretty good kit, but the 2 new infantry figs legs are a little messed up but it could have just been a human issue

Having served in a mechanized unit in Vietnam in 1968, building this kit brought back a lot of memories. It’s an ambitious and challenging project (for me at least). This is my first Tamiya kit and was very impressed with the quality of the parts. The instructions are straight forward, although the type is pretty small. I was able to download the instruction sheet and display it on my desktop which made following it easier. The decals are also first rate. This is a small model, 1/35 scale. Some of the parts are really small, but with a little patients and a pair of tweezers, when completed you will yield a beautifully detailed replica of a Vietnam era APC (Other versions are detailed as well). I’m not skilled at weathering and I don’t have an airbrush. I hand painted (not my favorite part) and added a clear coat of Future (Pledge Floor Gloss).
