M113: Jack Of All Trades

Waiting for some elastic thread to turn up and I will be able to call my 1/16th AHHQ ACAV finished apart from making a base and figures which I will consider as additional.

The M163 is looking great. Only one issue though. The placement of the sandbags and VS-17 ID panel on the front right of the hull is not a good place for them. They are blocking the air outlet for the radiator (sandbags) and the air inlet for the engine (VS-17). The engine would quickly overheat with them where they are.

Not real familiar with the campaigns system, do they have a way to view all the completed builds? I’d like to see them. Wayne

Not unless the builders post them at the end.

The South shall rise again!

Folks I’m calling this one done as I have added the last of the ARVN figures and accessories. I really hope there is another M113 Campaign next year as this was a lot of fun!

Okies. Finished for the campaign. Still got to do a bit of a diorama for it though. Some slight liberties taken with it

Great build, Robin! The M113 and the figures really look good and would be perfect for a diorama.

Congrats on the great result!

I was pretty ambitious joining two campaigns. But the professional life moved me to way too much international travels this year so could only work on the Made in USSR campaign (even not finished but near to do so). I really cannot complete this M113 family campaign.

Life makes it no easy…

Mine should be finished in the next few days I hope. Fingers crossed. Just finding time to do it is the issue.

Hey guys, I’ve finished my M163 painted in IDF Lebanon colors, Operation Peace in Galilee.

The problem is that I didn’t take photos of the finished model before coming to spend New Year’s at my in-laws’ place.

Is there any chance I can post them on 01/02, when I get back home, and still have them count for the campaign?

Almost forgot to post. I’m calling this build is complete apart from a few missing parts lost in the mayhem of my work area, put somewhere safe till I need them. Base still to be done and additional things including figures to be finished.
