M113 Armored personnel carrier, Italieri, 1996, scale 1/35

I am thinking for a diorama with 8 figures. Hope it will be a good dio!

Very nice work so far, this particular vehicle holds a place in my heart as it was a very integral part of my life during the Viet Nam conflict though your version is of a different era. Goes to show the timelessness of the design, It's a crying shame we (US military) gave up on this  excellent vehicle in favor of the Hummer as a basic troop carrier and sold them off to other countries. Shameful as many fine young me have been killed and maimed in the pathetic attempt to save money. A sad commentary indeed.

Missed this one somehow!  Very nicely done. Always had a soft spot for the 113.  Looks good and the figures set it off nicely.

 

[Steve Brodie]

very nice scene you have created there

 

[american]

Thank you Fenlander, thank you Steve! I like the scene too. Let's hope that inspiration an my budget to come soon with another model.....( I still have to finish HMS Victory, USS Constitution, Millennium Falcon)...
