Wow Leon! That's a really unusual sprocket & track combo on the Doraville M113. Do you think it was installed to protect the city streets?

Joel,i believe it is! It looks like a rubber band type of track.Most of the images i've looked at use the M113 tracks with the rubber pads.

Update #2-Interior got painted with a custom mix of Vallejo Dunkel Grun and White! Not going to do a lot of detail painting as all the hatches will be closed. Hope you like it.  003 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr Thanks for looking! |

You're going to have to add a 'K' between the 'A' and the 'V' |

Leon, FYI, British plane color "Sky type S" is a direct match for US armor interior color. HTH, Joel.

Neat. How are you going to pull off the markings - did you find decals? Or are you going to make your own?

Looks right Leon
You could always run down to your local Office Depot where they sell dry transfers in various colors and sizes. Can't help you out with the city emblem tho
Regards,
Mark
