discussion Peters US GB Entry #2 - M113 ACAV - Tamiya - 1:35

[pjgtech]

Decided to do another entry for this US GB, as I still have a few suitable candidates.
This will be the Vietnam version of the M133 ACAV, (Armoured Cavalry Assault Vehicle).
The kits comes with a couple of figures too (I think?). I have already made a start today, but here are the box/sprue pics....

Progress so far, not much, but its a start, I have decided for this build to try to reduce all the little painting jobs, so am trying to get all the little bits on the larger parts as much as possible, so that they can all be primed/painted at the same time. We'll see if that works....
Lower chassis, engine, etc.


Few bits added to the top body section, hatch, handles, lifting points, etc. Plus internal seats, frames, etc.


A quick dry fit of the parts so far, all seems to fit together ok....

I'm only just starting my GB build and you're on your second one already Peter Looks good, a fair amount of detail in there

Bit of priming done on completed bits so far... AK Black primer.
