Hi Soeren,
Sure, here is a comparison. Although narrower, The V-100 is of the same length as a Panzer IV chassis, and even a bit longer than an Panzer III.
- V-100 Commando size comparison
Here is a sight you do not see often, a V-100 and M-113 Vietnam buddies together in 1/16 scale, both Ludwigs kits. The view is missing an M-48 though, one day...
- V-100 and M-113
Regards, Louis

Oh, that is an Asiatam Stug IV conversion, a real pain to build. No I do not have a build link for it but 43rdRecceReg has an excellent one ongoing at
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=24453, and is going through the same challenges and fixes. It is one of the reason that I am starting to prefer doing Ludwig basic kit now. At least, I do not spend half the time undoing mistake more complete kits came with. At one point, it is becoming simpler to detail a basic kit from scratch, strait to the way I want it.

Sure is a wonderful shot next to the M113
and the backdrop of all your other ones is one to be well proud of.

Excellent Louis!
That pic of the V-100 and M-113 together causes me to flashback to our airbase security forces.
Our Security Police used the V-100 and the M-113 and the Thai Security force had a couple of M-113s

Top-tier, Louis. A perfect end result, well done!
The weathering looks great. I assume it's your usual method with pigments, but I'm interested to know which ones you used and how you applied them. It looks like something I'd like to replicate, and my previous attempts weren't any good.
