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.

They are neat little kits although they have been derided ever since Academy released one. I have several of the Tamiya ones, the older version and the M113A2/A3. I like them.

This should be a nice quick project for you. It looks like the build portion is nearly done.

 

There is not really much to this kit... all the hatches open so this would be a good kit to put an am interior and engine in. Probably will end up doing that in a future build.

Been wanting to try something a little unique so I decided to pick up an m113 kit and am planning on modeling it after the Danish peacekeeper units deployed to Bosnia. 

As with any Tamiya kit, it is coming together pretty easily.
