Beautiful build, Keith! It looks great! The weathering and realism is top notch!

That third photo is killer. Looks like it was taken inside a maintenance bay.

Although not a part of this campaign, I’ve been lurking in complete awe of the range of fantastic models here. Kudos to all!

Also, maybe for the next iteration, I saw this photo of a Thai army vehicle being transported during the recent cross border clashes. Interesting protective elements that may be fun to build in the next campaign.

Hey guys, here are some photos of my completed M163. It’s going into a diorama with some figures, set in Lebanon.

An interesting detail is that the M163 is a low-altitude air defense system, but the IDF used it against sniper positions as saturation fire. Because of that, the acquisition radar was kept lowered.

When I grow up, that’s how I want my M113 to look. Fantastic work!

Thank you so much. I wish I could find the few missing parts like the M60 bipod arms and other odds and sods.

Great job, when I took first quick look, I thought it was a period photo of the real thing. Very well done!

I can extend it if anybody needs the time. Is anybody just finishing up their M113?

Okay, the campaign is extended to February 28, 2026. I hope that is enough time for more guys to finish their M113.

Thanks for the compliment.

I used various ones from Paracel and Bravo 6, but swapped arms etc around. The woman is from the original kit and the bike is one i printed

Academy M163

Just a quick progress photo. My focus is now on this model. Construction is finally done. Axles are masked and two coats of primer are down. Real life is still kicking my butt but I hope to lay down the primary color later today.
