Over a period of months and long discussions with Teebird about the sagging landing gear on the pre-Sidewinders versions of the BBI F/A-18 Hornet (This has been brought up by other members and the topic was touched on by Pizzaguy a while back). Teebird and I decided to do something about this...

The prototype A-10 was in the hands of the owner of "Skyworks" prior to the company folding. He claimed the model was his and no one had any rights to it. It created a lot of issues with the person who loaned him the model with the idea that he would create production models for those who...

Incredible story of two men with honor and respect for each other during a World War. Amazing.

Great job Matt. I like the quad conversion. Reminds me of the Canadian Skink with it's 20mm anti aircraft guns or the M3 with a Quad 45. Canadian Skink M3 Stuart with Quad 45

I'm working on my weathering skills before I put a brush to them.

Nice, can't wait to start on mine.

I tried taking a picture of my two converted APC's side by side but they did not turn out. I decided to cut and paste the photos of the two Pickelhaube conversions. The green APC is the Vietnam era M113A1 with .50 cal MG and a .60 cal MG with shields, along with a recoilless rifle. The tan...

I will take a photo of both and post it on Friday. Good info on a real work horse. Thanks again Pickelhaube for helping me make these two conversions a reality.

Here is the other conversion I did using Pickelhaube's Vietnam cupola and gun shields. You can see the difference in the shield and cupola's. I'm still trying to perfect my weathering before I put the brush to the models.

Pickelhaube sells the rounded racks (shown) for $40 a pair, plus another $25 for the cupola and shield. He also sells the squared racks for $30 a pair depending on what your looking for. Once I received them I had them cleaned up, built, painted and installed in less then two days working a...

I received Pickelhaube's m113 APC upgrade. After removing all of the gear from the original model, filling the holes, cleaning up the new parts, assembling them, painting the parts and the final assembly, here is the semi finished result. Once again Matt (a.k.a. Pickelhaube) you have out done...

Great info Apache26. I'm going to check out your tanks and and the materials to weather mine. I enjoy the information these forums yield.

I'm still researching on how I am going to weather it for Vietnam. I am also not happy with the way the floatation blisters on the front turned out:crying:. The're too small, so I am going to scratchbuild another set to replace them before I get started on the weathering. I also plan on...

I added some accessories and did some final touches to my M113A1 with recoilless rifle, I'm somewhat happy with the outcome. I started reading up on how to weather armor, since I have only done airplanes before. You armor guys let me know what you think. I really want to...

I used a few of the appropriate decals for my M113. I left the skirt on my tank since it is die cast and not plastic (difficult to remove, lots of grinding). I was asked what I did to backdate my M113 APC. Here is a list. Removed from exterior External fuel tanks All storage gear and...

Thanks "K-Tiger" and "Apache26" for the information. I could not find any reference anywhere. Glad to find people in the know.

I will be posting new photos of my Vietnam M113A1. I worked on making decals for some of the letters and numbers that I could not duplicate. I also made new red and white Calvary flag decals, since I was not happy with the way the painted on ones turned out. This meant I had to sand off some of...

Matt, Can't wait for the release.

Great job, looks outstanding as usual.
