Thank you, if you look at the two vehicles side by side, they show quite a bit of differences. Other that the basic Ludwigs tub, they are totally different constructions, inside and out. Without doing a TOW launcher conversion like i did, it is quite simple for owners of a static Verlinden M113A2 or ACAV to rebuild it into an accurate RC model at limited costs/time by transposing Verlinden parts to a Ludwigs RC base. If I was to redo the M113A1 ACAV, I would do the type of integration I did for the M113A2 TOW launcher vehicle. I would however select a higher RPM planetary gearbox for the motors.square4 wrote:Cracking work on both the models,ones to be proud of.
The new Tank-Modellbau M113 metal tracks are great for Nato European and Canadian vehicles but these are not T130 tracks that are accurate for a US vehicle, but its better than Panzer III tracks for sure.
Now, I am thinking of a M-163 Vulcan, with rotation 20mm Gatling gun and turret... But that will be another M113 story for another year.

With your incredible attention to detail, I am really looking forward to see how you make a fully rotating Gatling gun.lmcq11 wrote:
