M113A1 ACAV - Academy 1/35

Hey boys,
itīs been a while since my last post as I drowned in work lately.
As I have two weeks off work, I decided to work a bit on a pretty unusual kit (at least unusual for me ).
So, this is my latest build,
Academyīs M113A1 ACAV,
besides the base kit, I used:
PE - Eduard 35430 (exterior) und Eduard 35426 (interior),
Nuts and Bolts - Masterclub (different sets with different sizes),
scratched parts made from Plasticsheet,
Weld beads made from Magic Sculpt,
some Legend parts,
.50cal - Academy,
Tracks - AFV Club

Even though I used almost every part from Eduardīs Interior-set, I still chose to close almost every hatch as the interior still wasnīt correct. So, as I didnīt feel like spending more time with it (and as I hadnīt enough pics of it), I chose to close them.
The AFV-tracks arenīt the best set I ever used. Even though the box said workable, I had to glue them and they needed a lot of work as I had to sand every link to make it fit. Besides that, they lack the track bolts which I made from punched plastic sheet.

So, as my main interest is WW2 and I donīt know anything about M113s, I would love to hear your opinion on it and if there is anything that is missing or needs to be changed.


















Comments, good or bad, more than welcome

Thanks in advance
Markus
