i need a little distraction from the PTL-02 thats slowed down a bit so i fancy something braille scale

AAA vehicle...basically a 20mm vulcan cannon mounted on a M113 APC

there is a choice of 4 schemes.....ones a Vietnam era one, another is a late 80s US Army in Europe but i shall pick either the US Army or Saudi Army in Desert Storm schemes

Hi Paul,

always good to see another of the old Esci kits on the go again

Not many parts to this one and that solid multi barrel cannon looks like it may not be great - will you be attempting a better version?

The biggest problem with this kit is the roadwheels: you only get the outer ones of the pair of wheels that should be on each axle. However, the model is small enough that most people probably won’t notice at first glance.
