Title says it all. I'm building this one to be displayed at Fort Benning. I know I can order one from over seas, but I prefer to keep my spending in the US.

Gino has told me that the Academy M113A3 OIF kit has the right parts for an A2. Just a thought.

I don't have a choice, in this matter. The person directing the build has stated that I must use the M113A2.

All of the A2 parts are in the M113A3 OIF kit. Academy added a couple sprues to make the A3 kit. The only thing not in the A3 kit from the A2 kit is the decal sheet. Unless he is looking for the decals specific to the A2 kit, he would never know the difference.

I'll give the M113A3 OIF a try. Even if I end up having to build the M113A2, I enjoy building them.
