1/72 M113A1 Trumpeter

[sheriff013]

Hello dear modellers,

First of all the building process:

 

I actually listed the pros and cons of this kit from my point of view at the earlier topic, so overall I can say that this kit is 8/10. The worst part is rubber tracks. And I also looked for a little bit more interior details. One more thing, armor plate (?) details are missing around the hatches. So I gave an 8 to this kit.

 

So first I added some interior details like driver seat, commander seat etc. from scratch. And I also added some tarps from epoxy putty, a wooden box and spare road wheel were casted with blue stuff. Lastly a rolled wire fence was obtained from an old broken french press

Here is the end results. Please have fun and happy modelling.

Very nice work on that tiny thing, I used to drive one of these beasts, back in Reagan's Army, and am very fond of the 113.

Hi sheriff013,

Great mini-vehicle, even with interior.... Very well weathered, and the coin next to it makes the size clear.

Cheers and TC

Francis.👍

Excellent work. It certainly looks "used".

Regards

Thanks a lot Pete. I really enjoyed weathering this model.

Nicely done!  I also used to drive one back in the late 90's / early 00's in the Engineers.  Yours looks like a much larger model, with the amount of detail and weathering you've packed into it.  One can practically smell the diesel exhaust...

Fantastic result for such a small model. How did you do these details, with microscope? 😀

Thank you very much Nenad. Sometimes I use glasses like this

 

But with this model, i didnt need it. The details I added pretty simple.
