Hi...

Here they got the M113, http://www.sonderfahrzeug-modellbau.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; both as kit and as finised model, but it cost a great amount of money...

If you find anything please post it, I am also in the market for a M113.

Hi Willhappy,

Good Afternoon.
This is an M113 in 1:18 that came out a few years ago from 21st Century Toys. It is not the right scale and was inexpensive to boot to begin with but one of these might be helpful in some way if you can locate one online for sale. I modded mine slightly for appearance' sake.

I detailed one of those 21st Century M113s too. Not bad for a pretty cheap "toy" but they're rare now so pricey. Build thread is below

Ended up looking like this when I sold it to a forum member.

I have one of those 21st Century ones still mounted to its base. I didn't realize how rare they were and how much they went up in price. I was going to use it to build a copy of one my 1st Sergeant used in Iraq with an RPG cage.

Good Morning.
That's amazing work, Crispy! It makes me want to go tear all that stuff off of mine and simplify it's looks with some Olive Drab and basic stowage. *Adds to list of things to be done* One of these with a working suspension and plastic, pinned tracks would be too cool. (Are you listening, HengLong Guys?)
