1/35 M113 ACAV (Armoured Cavalry Assault Vehicle)

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

Thick aluminium armour on the M113 was sufficient for stopping the 7.62mm cartridges of the Viet Cong's preferred weapon, the AK-47. Its robust tracks and powerful engines allowed it to plod through dense underbrush. Its usual armament of a single M2 Browning .50 calibre machine gun could be augmented with a pair of M60s, allowing it to shred enemy hard points. No question, if you had to go into the bush, you wanted an M113 out front. They weren't invulnerable, but they sure beat walking.
