The M113 is a fully tracked armored personnel carrier (APC) that was developed and produced by the FMC Corporation. The M113 was sent to United States Army Europe in 1961 to replac e the mechanized infantry’s M59 APCs. The M113 was first used in combat in April 1962 after the United States provided the South Vietnamese Army (ARVN) with heavy weaponry such as the M113, under the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV) program. Eventually, the M113 was the most widely used armored vehicle of the US Army in the Vietnam War and was used to break through heavy thickets in the midst of the jungle to attack and overrun enemy positions. It was largely known as an “APC” or an “ACAV” (armored cavalry assault vehicle) by the allied forces.Product Highlights:- Option to build a standard M113A1 or with ACAV upgrade- Option to build as an M113A1 with Australian modifications- Hatches can be in open or closed position- Comes with engine and interior details- Crew in US & RAAC uniform (driver & gunner) includedProduct Code: 280134Number of Parts: 173 pieces / 4 sprues Show more
