Hi Matthew.
Just thought i would let you know in case you have not found out but the MB 1 that David talks about has been out of production for awhile now. I sold my last one to overseas. They should be back in print next year sometime
Thanks

Mate, your gonna have a hard time finding them in Vietnam, this is because only 3 trial vehicles were sent to there for testing.

Osprey's Vanguard series Number 34
"The M113 Series"
Page 27.
I have a copy here but not real keen on posting a possibly copyrighted picture.
The one in the picture is one of 16 manufactured and then fitted with the Saladin turrret.
If you contact Osprey and they give the ok re copyright I can post a picture.
Cheers,
Andy.
