Academy M113A1 A.P.C. Vietnam Version 1/35 Scale Model Kit

Academy M113A1 A.P.C. Vietnam Version 1/35 Scale Model Kit brings M113A1 A.P.C. Vietnam Version to your workbench in 1/35 scale. The M113A1’s box-shaped hull and tracked chassis give you a straightforward foundation for a Vietnam vehicle display.

Planning the build

Plan access to the cabin and hatches around the kit’s actual options. Use the same dust tones on the lower hull and display base to tie the scene together.

Working in 1/35 scale

At this scale, small differences between rubber, bare metal and painted surfaces can help define the finished model. Plan the paintwork around the assembly sequence so enclosed areas are accessible. If the model will sit in a scene, compare its scale and finish with the companion pieces before choosing a base.

Painting and finishing

Choose the setting before committing to camouflage, markings and weathering. A small painted sample lets you compare the base shade with a wash and the dust or dirt from the planned display. Keep the heaviest deposits where the vehicle or equipment would contact the ground, and check the contrast at normal viewing distance.
