I've gotten into the habit of buying something and then immediately starting it. I need to finish up a few first. Very cool Lyle - just an FYI you have your scale wrong in the title. Thanks, John. it was that damn auto-complete. Corrected. |

Stik, ‘Tis madness. That’s the fun of the adventure.
RealG if the Sudsy bomb should, by chance, fail…there is a hammer.
tobi, hope you brought a lot of snacks!

Well, since it'll be on my wishlist, I'll join everyone here and watch this unfold. The one I got was free shipping, and about 10$ off their listed price. Not bad all in all. They show one left…they have jacked up the price by $40 USD…wow. |

Scanning the instruction booklet, which will take a bit. I finally got the HP Smart software to work (again) with the HP printer .....I like this software as it lets you build multipage documents. I can scan the entire booklet, then save it as a PDF and then, re-save it as individual pages. TJ had asked for a comparison photo on the size of this girl. Here is one set (there are three) of rotor blades next to the M-113. Both in 1/35 scale.  |

just made an interesting discovery. Not a biggie, but....
The kit I received is 53054 - without the Daisy Cutter bomb - the kit in the listing is 53055 with those parts. Damn, buess I can't nuke the frogs in the pond.

Thats not a M113, the front of the hull is wrong... might be a M114... Wrong direction in the time line. It is an M-59 so a predecessor of the 113. It is the same size as a 113 though at the point was to show scale. Strangely enough I could not find a picture with an actual M-113 although they probably lifted them far more often than a 59!  |
