I could've/should've kept going, but I'm kinda over this build. Got primer on it today, so the finish is near!

Looking really good Tim! I saw where Andy is doing a 1/16th M113 with full interior for his next big tank. Tempting, but probably going to pass.

I like the 1/16 scale for armour, however it appears to be rejected by the majority of the scale modelling society. 1/35 is still the king.

1/35th has been out for decades where as the 1/16th scale has been expensive and variety with minimal AM parts. That has been changing in the last few years with Andy and Das Werk coming out with nice 1/16th scale kits that are still somewhat reasonably priced. This means that you can get two Andy or Das Werks kits for the price of one of the Tamiya 1/16th kits, and the Tamiya kits are not as detailed.

Also, I am not sure if anyone knows but Andy is coming out with a 1/16th scale M113 A1 / M113 A1 ACAV APC kit with interior and it is on pre-order for $113 right now.
