# 2731 M113 Interior 1/35NEW from Verlinden ProductionsPrice: TBA Once again MSCF is the first to receive and review a new item from Verlinden Productions. This time we have a full interior resin set including the motor and compartment. This set is intended to be used on the Acadamy kit of the M113. As with the Chaffee engine compartment this is a brand new item so the box I received had no label with an image of the set. Here we have the box and bagged resin parts. The two sided color instruction sheet showing parts and building sequence. A layout of the larger resin parts which include the floor, side walls and crew compartment. Some of the parts are cast on thin flat plugs/sprues, evident that this was a simple flat mold. All parts look crisp with minimal flash. Next all the smaller parts to make up the driver, crew and motor compartment. Parts all look clean, intact and bubble free. A length of copper wire is also included in this set. Next we have the larger resin parts such as the motor, transmission, final drive etc. Again they all look very clean and full of detail that will stand out once painted. Conclusion: As with all Verlinden sets that I have or have used, this set looks to be very good. Without proper reference material I cannot say if all measurements are accurate, but they do look right. All parts are cast in the usual off yellow resin typical of Verlinden. I have never had any issues with clean up or painting of any Verlinden products and this set should be no exception. This and other products from Verlinden Productions can be found on their website at the link below. www.verlindenonline.com/store/

Rob - are you going to actually put that set to use? If not, I volunteer to be a guinea pig...I've got an entire stack of M113s destined for a series-build. Would love to finish the "built up" portion of the review!

Dupes, check your PM bud.
Spud, not sure if it fits the tammy kit. It's for the Acadamy one.
