Thank you Barry and Carl,
With this post, the construction phase of the M-113A1 MRV is complete.
These are the Ludwig 3D printed hub caps. With the way I mounted the wheels with the RC Hex bolts as a shaft, I had to make them hollow to fit the wheel. It is impossible to drill through 3D printed parts. I had to use a sander with the Dremel to carefully remove material inside the hub cap by melting the 3D plastic with high speed friction.

The box under the turret bin is the air filter. Notice the Mato M10 fuel cap, brass tie downs and rear mounts for the top lift hooks, a special design for the MRV.

The lowering (static) mechanism for the trim vane was built using the provided Ludwig part as the core with scratch built brass items.
