Hello to all
Am newbie there and just want to trade my passion for M113's of all sorts .
Am an old 1/43 modeller for Le mans racing cars and have got a new addict for 1/35 models thanks to the reading of the well known Osprey M113 written by the famous Graheme Davidson !!
I decided for following next years of retiring from racing cars building comunity to involve myself ( helped by some nice guys modellers and mastermen) in an big collect of M113 variants ( armored or not)
After browsing a lot on all sorts of sites I noticed that many M113 where used differently than they where supposed to do but in trying to replicate these on 1/35 scale there was a big missing of decals .
So some months ago I decided to draw some and to order from decal subcontractor a print of this Multiversion decals .
I just receive this week the transfers and am starting to built ( with either Tamiya , Academy, Afv club)the 14 possible versions permitted with this decal

Very interesting decals and nice builds. It's good to see M-113s get new lives.

Yes thanks Paul
M113 is probably the most versatile tracked vehicle never built and i decided only to collect her variants trying to built on 113 of them during followings years .
Specially the ones never done as kits:
