Hey there Kiwis i am building up the AFV club M41 as a NZ Army machine and i was looking for info about mods i will need to make to the kit and correct colors. I was wanting to model the final color scheme as they were seen in the farewell parade in 1983 before they were retired. I was based at Waiouru for basic and saw a few M113s in the equipment sheds but i guess the M41s are long gone. Apart from the one on the gate of the mueseum of course. I was driving to Auckland from the Waikato and saw one on the side of the road outside a heavy machinery business a few months ago but didnt stop to take any pics - doh! So if theres any former tankies out there that can help that would be awesome
