at Chris Toadman website there is a good example of Bird Cage for M113 since it is not slat

You can look to my profile I start working on this project, I need to figure out how to reproduce the angled parts.
I will follow your work for sure

Piero,
There is a walkaround on primeportal of the M113 in quest.
You can take one of the side shots, save the photo and open the photo in a program like paint or microsoft photo edit and then use the kit directions to superimpose the side photo onto a scale dwg. using the kit as a master.
