M113 Build

Post by hell-fire » Sun Aug 24, 2014 3:30 am

After a break of 12+ years I am back in to model building, here are a couple of Progress photos of a Canadian M113 with Tow under Armour using the academy kit with an after market conversion which did not fit without some sawing to the base kit.

Here is where I am up to after today, I added the tie downs all over the vehicle, these are 2.5mm long so real tiny & tricky to work with & being resin means they are fixed with super glue.

My first model in over 12 years is all but done except for a little touching up & some light weathering.

Very nice work John.
I don't think I would have the steadiness and patience required to affix all the tie downs in a straight line.

Thank you Roy,

Putting the end connecters on the track links was way worse than the tie downs, I forgot how much I enjoy doing this so now my Jeep is all sorted I will be back into this hobby or a more consistent basis.
