Corey:
Can't seem to access the PM mode on the board. If there are any more OD Green M113's I sure would like one. None have shown up here in the Northwest. My email is: antiqtrain@aol.com.
Let me know if you can help? It would be greatly appreciated.
J.

For those looking for the OD green M113s, I managed to pick up a few extra this past weekend. I am looking to trade for 2 tan M113s. If interested, my email is carvelln@msn.com.

Thanks

What's up with the light green splotches on the OD version? Is it supposed to be weathering?

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Thu Dec 02, 2004 7:33 pm

I've only seen pictures of this, but it sounds like a good guess. I have a tan version and there are some darker areas that look like weathering. the Tan version seems to have a green base coat of paint, covered by the tan paint.

was at the elmhurst ill wm today and saw about 10 green m113a2's... 39.99 as of today

Are you sure they were the Woodland camo? If so that is the first sighting of those I believe....

mwanz do you think that you would be able to buy me on of the green ones?

Finally got my m113 at the wally mart in Duluth,Ga. They only had the solid green ones though. cool APC but the figures suck big time. I dont care for the way the bags and stuff hanging on it look. The pics on the box definately look better than the actual luggage.

They finally got these bad boys in Louisville. They only have the green version and still at full price unfortunately. They are nice though although the figures are as bad as I've heard.

I had bought a desert (tan) one a few weeks ago on ebay, but I've been hankering for an OD (green). Picked up an OD today at the Super WM in Gates. First I've seen of any paint scheme in Upstate NY. Didn't see any more APCs there, but there may have been others around - the toy dept had 21C 1:18 Tigers, Air Cav Hueys, and Cobras scattered all over the place.

JOC · Post by **JOC** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 12:09 pm

I have the green version and decided to can the stowage and figures because of their cheap looks. I am not a master modeler, just a disabled Nam/Desert Storm Vet, who has taken to playing with toys to while away the hours and late sleepless nights. I took some WWII and Modern Stowage I purchased online and made up my own version of the APC. I have five photos I would like to share if anyone is interested, but here comes the rub. I got them to my computer (sitting in the My Pictures folder) but I do not have the knowledge as to how to get them to this board. Is there anyone out there who can direct me as to how to get it on here. Not looking for acolades, just thought I might share what I have done.
Thanks
Jay

If you contact Teamski he will show you how to get them up to his picture site.. I 'm very interested to see them..

Did you use Build-A-Rama stowage?

JOC · Post by **JOC** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 4:46 pm

Did you use Build-A-Rama stowage?

Yes,I did. They seem to have some really nice stuff and well made too.
Thanks for the info on Teamski, I sent him a PM.

Tinman · Post by **Tinman** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 5:35 pm

I'd like to see your photos also, JOC! I've been thinking about modifying the APCs, and what you've done sounds interesting....

JOC · Post by **JOC** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 5:48 pm

As soon as I hear from Teamski, I will let you know. It was fun trying to change it around.
Thanks for your interest.

sounds cool Joc.

I'm also waiting for someone to make a veitnam custom one. After seeing the one in the unproduced xd archive i can see some mods that need to be made but they shouldn't be too tough and would look cool. Perhaps when the platoon line comes out they'll release the M113 in its original vietnam form (along with the PBR and some of those cool towers).
