Plasto Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Hi, Armour GB’s are on a roll currently. I wonder if if there is any interest in a STGB covering the most numerous Western AFV ever produced.. The M113 has seen service all around the world in pretty much every major conflict of the 20th and 21st century and has spawned a vast amount of variants on the basic body and even more using the basic chassis.. The GB would cover all vehicles using the M113 chassis. Fancy a M163 VADS yep allowed. British army Lance Missile carrier... Yep allowed. Israeli versions yep.. Vietnam era ACAV’s Yep all good. That weird Aussie one with the Turret... Yep... NASA Fire fighting version.. Yep allowed. There is not a shortage of kits in the main scales with 1/35 being well represented with 113 variants... Its also not a huge build task as the vehicle is pretty basic. So a myriad of users of a vehicle that had a myriad of versions that’s well represented in kit form and is not a massive build project. any takers??? Cheers Plasto... 1. Silenoz 2.CFFU 3.

Chartreuse has a unique quality that will make it stand out on a shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasto Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Agreed it has a sci-fi quality like some sort of tracked vehicle on Space 1999 or Captain Scarlet.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 While researching the NASA M113 fire engine i found this link. https://forums.armchairgeneral.com/forum/historical-events-eras/vietnam-war/61271-fire-trucks-at-war They talk about an M113 Fire engine used by the U.S.Army at Long Binh Vietnam 1969. Its actually looks like a real fire truck its all red and gold ? Another possibility for someone willing to scratch build all the equipment, 900 gallon tank, and paint it up.
