Well folks the painting continues with adding the markings for this track. I decided on markings for the 10th Cavalry 4th Infantry Division. I could use some of the kit decals, but the rest would need to be painted on. Also I have done some more detail painting and weathering. No tracks yet because I have new AFV Club tracks on the way. Here are some update pictures of the work so far. Thanks for looking and always questions and comments are welcome.

Oh I'm not going anywhere.
Especially after watching the show that's on The Military Channel right NOW! Lots of armor...top 10!

I need to finish my M48.....just a little under the weather right now.

But dude, keep posting pics, I'm learning a lot from them.

Thanks John!! This project will most likely be done by the end of October. When I get going, unless I run into a real problem, I tend to move right along.

Re:Terry's M113

Wow, Terry!

That is some pretty awesome superdetailing. It's got me motivated to try to start some armor models that I've had sitting around for years. However, mine will still look like plastic models where yours could pass as the real thing depending how you photograph it when it is completed.

I showed this thread to one of the guys in my unit who used to be in a mechanized infantry unit back when they had M113's and he was amazed at your details with the engine and interior as was I.

I think I remember reading somewhere in this thread that you weren't going to do this as an ACAV because you wanted to make it represent a vehicle from the early years of the war. If so, I'd suggest changing the M16 with 30 round magazine to an M16 with a 20 round magazine or even an M14 for you to have a super accurate M113 for the early years. Please don't take that the wrong way. Since you are putting so much effort into making such a incredible model with exceptional detail, you might as well have all of the details right. I can't wait to see the finished product. You are doing an outstanding job with this model.

That is amazing detail most of us would never had thought about.
And that's what sharing these builds on TnT or any internet site is all about. :drink
