Looking good so far.

Very cool! 

The rest of the assembly is complete and is now ready for paint as soon as the weather turns decent again. I ended up drilling a hole in the side of the hull and putting some wire in it to help give the vinyl tracks some sag.

Here is a comparison shot of the tracks with and without the wire.

Nice work on the sag. With those tracks it's either glue the top run to the road wheels or use a wire like you did.

Looking good. 

I really am liking the look of the white and with black lettering. The white is going to make it harder not to overdo the weathering.

Neat! Kind looks like a good target though.....

Hello!

That's an interesting take on it... How about that round ACAV shield on the commander's hatch? Are you sure it should be there?

Good luck with your build and have a nice day

RBaer: The crew's light blue helmets are an even easier target.

Pawel: I did go through reference material before deciding which commander hatch to go with. I found m113s from bosnia with and without the ACAV shield.

I like the white with black lettering look as well.  Very sharp contrast and interesting to look at. 

Great job, never tried to do a white AFV (other than whitewash). 

I think the white is like a hunter wearing blaze orange- it's shorthand for 'DON'T SHOOT ME'.

The White UN stuff pretty much is exactly that. Of course the warring factions have to respect those rules, and the forces deployed have some sort of back up and the folks in charge willing to use that back up rapidly if need be. If they dilly dally and deliberate, thats one reason those ops can go sideways in a real hurry.

Finally done with weathering and also got the figures painted. Decided to go for a muddy early spring look on the m113.

All that is left is painting the tools and stowage.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing your photos- just getting a Postimage: 'image not found or was removed' error message. 

Thanks for pointing that out. Will have to get it fixed when I get home.

Stowage and a final clear coat is on and I am going to call this one done. It was super fun build and I think the black on white scheme looks good.

Oh cool! Love the contrast of the green knapsacks with the white hull and the dark mud. Great job!!!

She's a dirty girl for sure.  The UN livery is probably my favorite for this vehicle

Nice finish on this one. It's kinda funny how dirty those pristine white UN vehicles look after just a short patrol. Most places where they go are not well paved and mud or dust is ever present.

Oh come on now Chad, a 113 looks best in one of its many MERDC schemes.

Nice job on weathering the white finish.

Well done.  Looks just like the blue hats on TV .  

It is a good job dirtying up the white, but this is mu favorite paint job on a track:

Thanks for the comments guys. I would have to agree that the MERDC camo looks really good on a 113.
