Wow!

That looks sweet. Is it 1:18?

Bill ,

You did a great job. It looks like you made your own M-60 shield swing arm or support. Can we get a close up of the shield mount? How did the turret work for you ?

It sure looks cool.

Thanks for the support.

Pickelhaubes ACAV set is a must for anyone who has the 21st C version.
I couldn't wait to get my hands on the set. The swivel brackets are from Verlinden and maybe they can be reproduced. The brackets were intended to be glued in place but I opted to drill 2 holes in the top of the M113 and glue round stock to the bottom of the swivel bases. This allows movement and allows you to angle the M60 shields in all directions. Does anybody know where I could get 1/18 M60 ammo belts???
