1/18 custom m113 vietnam

Post by flyboy_fx » Wed Dec 03, 2008 5:23 pm

my m113 is done :D . I made it in a field
painted olive drab with a kinda field made turret guard. Its just a flat piece of metal on the 50cal that they would make out of scrap metal or some thing like that. And I really detailed the inside
I'll update with some pics. :D :D :D

This is the one I will be building. They still use these in Iraq on the M113. I think that the Nam version is a little tighter on the deck. There is a nice line drawing. Of the rounded shield.

Scan down to were it says armored shield kit.

Of course this will be done if I ever get done with the Wirbelwinds.
