Very interesting vehicle. Thought it was M113 UK version but it turned out to be a totally different one. Spent most of the time researching referencing photos. Lots of details inside. Next step: interior weathering!

Photo 10 looks really nice I think. 🙂 Very nice getting to look inside. Maybe an idea to add some basic lighting inside?

Thanks Treehugger. Probably no lighting at this stage. Tried that before for an AAV7. May tried again for a bigger vehicle.

With so much work inside I hope you aren't putting the basket on top, as it would be a shame not to be have top hatch open, or can you open hatch with that big basket there?

Hi Scott, thanks for your comments. The big basket won't block both hatches. It would block one side of the hatch though. Will show more pictures for progress.

I always thought it looked better without the basket, but all APC need space for infantry gear so know why it's there. Thought Takom may have done mortar, peak turret and MCV variant as well as swingfire when they had the chassis, oh and a Abbot. Oh well, great work on yours

Really nice job on painting, restrained chipping and I love the timber effect on the shovels. Which scheme is it by the way, it's bright so wasn't thinking BAOR but unfamiliar with this one?

H Scott. Thanks for the nice comments. To be honest I don't know much about the camouflage scheme. I just copied the box art as I think it looks nice. There are a few other schemes included in the manual, such as the distinctive Berlin scheme during the Cold War. But I think the box art scheme is quite unique anyway.

Hi All, now it's done. It seems another piece of track for both sides would be better as the current tracks are a bit short. If you look more closely you'd notice a small gap exist around the rear bogie wheel. But I've already thrown away all tracks weeks ago...

Fair call, and the Berlin scheme scares the ... out of me
