It's time to roll into the fighting with the M113 APC which has also been dubbed as the 'battle taxi'! Come and learn more about the history of it and how the kit goes together...

Really nice and clean looking model with a real iconic look
It’s hard to keep up with the pace here 🙂
The M113 is an icon for me when it comes to APC’s
I haven’t watched the video yet (crap phone).
What’s the plastic like? Could these be easily converted for sci fi games?
Cheers.
This is the only box that I fill they need to do a box of 10, In Nam you need a truck full to build a army.
These kits look freaking fantastic! Can’t wait for launch day!
Looking real fine
Really nice models very tempted by this
Nice Kit, like the variety on this one…
they are looking more & more like a 20K Rhino, a well detailed kit to make by the looks of it.
If I recall, that extra turret weapon is the flamethrower one for Vietman…I recall it from an old unboxing video. Looking forward to seeing some more modern APC’s and IFV’s or whatever they are designated as. 😛
I agree with @crazyredcoat it certainly looks like the gun part of the M113 Zippo turret. That set of sprues looks like the Vietnam one, have they changed anything?
That was of course the M132 Zippo not M113 Zippo.
Thanks, guys. That one indeed had all of us stumped for a second there. I was about to spout off some silliness about communications gear on some kind of command variant.
Augh!! I hope @johnlyons is not laughing at me right now!!!
Great model, one of my favourite versions has to be the mortar carrier. BTW the kinda hatch is the base plate for the mortar if someone decides to bring it out of the m113.
its a good kit – lots of options for builds. how many of these options are useful for TY though?
It’s the same kit as in TOD and AIW pity the reviewers didn’t do any home work about it before hand.
Is mech going to be any good?
Paint it blue and call it a Rhino!
its gonna be a tough choice between us and russians
One of my favorite vehicles of the time.
I was not really interested in this model at first. But after seeing all the options available I am more inclined to include some in my list.
The options in team Yankee are – .50 cal AA gun, the rest are for Nam and AIW
Love the detail on this kit. It’s making it harder to chose between USSR and USA
nice model, bad memories…
Nice model…. I’ve started Cold War in 20mm but I’m now really tempted to switch down to 15mm after seeing some of these kits.
That kit looks a lot better than I iamgine d it would, very impressed by BF. This boot camp is really getting me hyped for thrn12th now
Nice piece of kit, but I’m sticking with the wife can have the US 🙂
beautiful kit, really detailed and so many guns!!
The kid looks amazing taken a hind out with ApC would be great on the tabletop
These look great.
Looks nice. I like the recoilless rifle
I would be interested in this kit just for the ‘famous conversions’.
Good clean kit. Just what you expect from a company of their calibre
What an amazing kit and how many options?
I believe the round piece that you were calling a hatch was the base plate for the Motor. As others have already stated the other bit was for the Zippo variant. The really nice thing about this kit is the versatility of it. The extra bits that you don’t use can be used to make gun trucks.
Yeah, we didn’t get a whole lot of prep time on this. Justin was like: You wanna be in a Beasts of War video?” I replied: “Eh . . . #### yeah!” On camera was my first time seeing this sprue. 🙂 Great experience and opportunity, though!
Cool kit!
Great kit. Very clean and it looks an easy build as well.
Like the ease of assembly
nice apc kit
those are going to look so nice on the table.
Looks like this will make it onto our groups gaming table.
