So I've been gone a long time in internet years... All great ideas, but I still want an H model conversion.

The other day I looked for my reference photos. They're gone. I must have left them behind on my old computer and failed in my file transfer. That being said, it depends on how much you wish to weather it. In the photos I had, I almost never saw both jerry cans strapped to the rear - in...

I forgot to post the photos...I'll try and remember tonight. How did the decals I sent work out? Did you get the skirt off? How did you do that?

That's correct. Later in the war an additional titanium plate was added to the bottom of the M-113. To offset the additional armor during fording operations, these flotation panels (I can't think of the technical term) were added to the trim vane and the front of the hull. If I recall...

Very Cool!

That looks great! I too am particularly impressed with the shot-out rear window in the back. Do you plan on replacing the front windshield with armored slats or an armored plate with vision ports cut out of it?

Agreed. There are enough WWII tanks out there...

I may have extra markings from my decal sets. If you're interested, I'll take a look.

I'm producing this along with my work on the rucksacks. To my knowledge, this will be the first accurately scaled M-72A1 LAW in 1:18. But since it is the same body style as the current M-72A7 LAW, it can be used for modern Afghanistan inspired work as well. I had this modeled to be placed...

For my M-113's I had to get a set of 1:35 scale decals re-sized by a guy who usually does custom 1:18 police and car model decals. It cost a ton and took a really long time, but it was important to me. The decals I had were for 2-8 Infantry (Mechanized Panthers) from the 4th Infantry Division...

Did you print the decals yourself?

I see it now. I was looking a this at work previously and sometimes the photos don't always load. Again, great work!

I dig them too! Man, PH sent you the turret and shield? He wasn't so forthcoming with me... That's ok, as I wasn't looking to do an FMC converted ACAV but a mech troop carrier which commonly used a different style turret. The new paint job looks great! I can't wait to see the...

Very cool. Let me know if or when you need the C-Rations. PM me with your address. With the paint it can get very confusing. I didn't go into too much detail on my research; for example military 24087 was changed in the late 1980's, so there is a difference in the current military 24087...

KT - I can count rivets too. Vietvetson - I have friends who restore Vietnam era vehicles. In an effort to repaint some items of equipment, ammo and gas cans, as well as paint models, I did some research on the paint. Like all things military, there are people out there who know the...
