The M113: A Workhorse of the Battlefield
The M113 armored personnel carrier (APC) is a true military icon. Its history stretches back to the Cold War, and it has seen combat service in numerous conflicts. Here's a deeper look at its development and enduring legacy:
From Prototype to Army Standard (1950s-1960s):
The Need for Mobility: In the 1950s, the US Army sought a new APC that was lighter and more agile than existing models. This focus on air transportability stemmed from the growing importance of airborne operations.
Aluminum Innovation: FMC Corporation developed two prototypes: the T113 with an aluminum hull and the T117 with steel. The aluminum T113 won due to its significantly lighter weight, making it ideal for airdropping.
Army Adoption: The M113, a designation for the finalized T113 design, was officially adopted by the US Army in 1960. It quickly replaced older, heavier APCs.
Early Modifications: The initial M113 had a gasoline engine, but concerns about fire hazards led to the M113A1 variant in 1963. This upgrade featured a safer diesel engine, improving range and reducing fire risk.
Baptism by Fire: The Vietnam War (1960s):
Troop Carrier: The M113 arrived in Vietnam in 1962, initially supplied to the South Vietnamese Army. It soon became the most widely used US armored vehicle in the conflict.
Adapting to the Jungle: While not specifically designed for frontline combat, the M113 offered valuable protection from small arms fire and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) prevalent in jungle warfare.
The "ACAV" Variant: The M113 Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle (ACAV) variant emerged, equipped with additional machine guns for a more offensive role.
A Soldier's Perspective: Despite its limitations, the M113 provided vital cover for infantry troops on the move. Veterans often credit it with saving lives.
Enduring Legacy (1970s-Present):
Evolution Through Variants: Over 80,000 M113s have been produced, with numerous variants for various roles. These include mortar carriers, command vehicles, and even armored ambulances.
Phased Out, Not Forgotten: While the M113 has been largely replaced by the Bradley Fighting Vehicle for frontline roles, it remains in service worldwide in modified forms.
A Global Workhorse: Many countries continue to operate M113s due to their reliability, affordability, and ease of maintenance.
The M113's story is a testament to its adaptability and durability. It may not be the most glamorous war machine, but it has served as a vital tool for troop transport and protection for over six decades.

Met Andy in 2020 at his store an confirm that he is 100% what you see in his videos. I was deployed to AZ for the border mission and had an opportunity to travel to Phoenix for a day. I took the opportunity to swing by his store. Andy was very welcoming and spent time talking with me. After months of "Army" it was nice to speak with him while in his shop. I bought a small pile of models for myself and a couple of other guys which gave us a nice distraction when we had free time. Cheers Andy!

I spent so long on these vehicles I could identify the parts as you were going through the sprues.

Thank you Andy. So many of us in Australia have been wanting this for a long time. I actually wrote to Takom on behalf of the M113 model group on Facebook and got no reply. I’m guess that is because you were already in discussions with them. Of all the 1/16 kits available, this is the one for me. Seeing all the detail in your video made me smile. I drove these as a young man and the detail brought back memories. Again thank you for going to the effort and creating this kit.😊

I love your constant interest in what ever you are presenting. I am not going to get into that modification soon, but a Danish uparmored UN A2 version from Kosovo in the '90s. They used the ACAV shield, extra plating front and rear, and used the controversial Israil wavy Urdan side armor. Smoke launhers each side of the rear hatch. It would be so striking in "dirty" white. Always a pleasure to watch you present, unpack or talk about new releases. Regards from Denmark. Alex..

Awesome video!!! May just have to get this kit for nostalgia purposes for i rode around in one of these for 5-years in West Germany (M113A2 version) and for 1-year in South Korea (M113A3 version - hated that version), and for 8-years at Fort Riley, KS (M113A2 version). The primary reason for the extra track shoe (think it was 2 extra shoes if memory serves me correctly) on the LEFT side was because the vehicle had a natural tendency to pull to the right because of the weight of the engine being on the right side. The driver had to "fight" the vehicle constantly in order to drive straight, otherwise vehicle may end up in a ditch, run over a tree, or whatever. Not saying that happened to me a few times, but... Also, whatever unit I was in we would take off those side skirts and place them into storage. Main reason for that was because good sized rocks, chunks of wood, frozen chunks of mud, or whatever had a tendency to get stuck between the top of the tracks and bottom of sponson, get stuck in between the wheels, jam up the idler wheel, or whatever thus causing a rather sudden stop!! There are support bars that hold those rubber side skirts in place. You would have to remove all the bolts that held them in place, remove the end supports as well, clear the obstruction, replace all that nonsense - was easier to leave them off. No side skirts allowed for quicker/easier access to the problem area when in hurry, doing maintenance, or whatever. Only time used the side skirts was for cheesy V.I.P. visits.

Offset torsion bars and 1 link short of one side cause the pull to the left. Nothing to do with where the engine is placed.

Looks great, but two observations. 1) the hatch on left rear roof, over the fuel tank, does not exist on production M113A1s. It was on M113 prototypes only. 2) Did not see the drain pipe for rear bilge pump. Saw the pipe for the front...May have been camera angles.

Most of the M113s (gas/petrol) that were upgraded to A1 have this hatch. It was an inspection plate for the integral fuel cell (gas/petrol). Only when the diesel engines were mainstream, did they delete that hatch.

It looks a really great kit Andy. The similarities to the Bradley in interior layout are huge. I made a Meng (or Mong as a guy from China told me it's pronunced) 1/35 scale Bradley with full interior. Its some kit. I didn't glue the upper hull on as there is so much detail and the turret basket has so much interior detail too. I added a TOW missile leaving the case on the turret; the only thing it was missing. I think the M113 would look good beside it.

I understand why they are separate on hollow ones but why not use slide molding,in that case even hollow guides won't have to be glued on all 200 plus of them. This kit looks even more detailed than the last.It's good to see each kit just getting that little bit better rather than resting on your laurels like some overpriced kits.I'm always looking forward to the next release.keep 'em coming.

On the A2's the benches were replaced with custom built storage boxes (for all our engineer stuff) that doubled as benches. On the A3's, since the fuel filler was not in the way, we had a larger wooden box mounted on the back left deck for our stuff. And of course we can't forget the towed MICLIC.

Couple of things I drove one for 3 yrs in the 80s as part of 4CMBG in Germany 2PPCLI. (1) what your referring to as grab handles are tie down points for 1” straps to be fed through then cinched down securing anything and everything the Section needed. There was no grab handles that I recall. (2) Is the Janitrol heater that was on far right corner against the engine compartment included? Incidentally that heater was the same one used in CH 124 Seaking helicopters! Can’t wait to get one and personalize it to my 31C. Don Robertson

Congratulations Andy - looks amazing and no wonder you are excited! I am in New Zealand so need to buy from your Europe site. Is there anything you can do about your crazy high shipping costs (from your Europe shop) or allow other countries to buy from the US site? I would love to buy from you but your shipping costs (on the Europe site) are considerably higher than other retailers and most of the other retailers take the tax off as well so it makes sense to buy elsewhere where it works out much, much cheaper. Not a complaint, just bringing it to your attention to help get you more direct sales.

The mold lines are quite pronounced. Hopefully they’ll have refined the molds by the time they produce the kit to minimize cleanup during assembly. Count me in for buying the kit

any chances of us in New Zealand and Australia being able to order and it gets shipped direct from factory instead to save us on freight? or someone selling on behalf at equivalent price? (seeing the factory is closer) only comment i have so far on details is the tail lights are not quite right (at 14:06) one side should have the slight oval recess with the slot through the middle and slot below, the other should be just a deeper oval recess to fit lens into with the slot below. (shown at the bottom in the video is correct shape for BO Brake side) one is the Blackout Brake Light and Marker the other is a Service Brake Light and Marker. this was standard for a lot of American vehicles from that time. i take full moulding will the floor plates have checker pattern also? another i just noticed is it has the heater and air pipe but will it have the ventilation distribution box on the floor (what the pipe feeds to) good to see little details like combat locks and hatch locks included and even detailed torsion bar holders

The guns kind of remind me of the lvt Amtrak, the 50 cal in the front and the two 30 cal’s on the sides.

Looks awesome! Not sure if I missed it or not, but is there a current guestimate for the final release? Also, given the vehicles extensive overseas service life, I hope it will include a decent amount of world wide marking options with the base kit, especially New Zealand Army and Australian Army for our cousins across the ditch (Tasman Sea) without having to go the always expensive aftermarket route. Would love to see an up armored M-60 Tank in 1/16 scale from AHH to pose alongside it. Edit: Just pre-ordered. Also, with your store expansion to Europe and now Canada... any plans to expand to the South Pacific to cover Australia/NZ to make shipping/postage a little more affordable? I'd definitely be a more regular customer if I could avoid the insane postage prices from Europe & the USA.

It is due to arrive in September. Agreed, there has already been crazy worldwide interest and my distributors have started taking preorders from other retailers as well. We do have buyers in Australia, hopefully they get on the bandwagon to keep up with the demand of their customers. Thank you for your input. All the best - Andy

I think from memory there was 63 pieces of link in the left hand side and 64 on the right due to those said torsion bars someone correct me if I'm wrong as it has been 30 yrs since Id played with them within the Australian Army mech inf and looking at all the parts brings back memories to name most of the parts and hope they come out with the after market with the T50 turret with 50 and 30 cal mount

There should be no lines inside the headlight lens. Both the white service light and the black infra-red lenses are smooth with no lines visible.

With no diesel engine with the kit, how hard would it be to make it into a RC ACAV putting the drive train, electronics in that space?
