Rockets M113 (progress pictures)

[Rocketman]

Hi all

Well heres My M113 in its new basecoat Olive drab( now matted down and dull). Plan is for mine to be near factory fresh, just off the boat " in country" and then Crispy is doing his as one a good year plus+ so loads of crap and weathering. More pics as the build is done. Plan is for lights, smoke, proportional control and some funky sixtys sounds!

Its looking good. That OD paint has turned out well brov. Is that the real Jeep stuff you picked up at War & Peace last year?

[Rocketman]

yeah thats the one but Id never use it again. Nice paint when its down but god its thin and very low pressure so it doesnt pnetrate teh little nooks and crannies easily. The MP3 player turned up today. Fits snugly on the back door !

Great looking M113. It will be sweet when done. I have been looking for one but with no luck, Australia misses out sometimes, have you got any info on who makes them and a photo of BEFORE all the extra work you have done
