IDF Magach on patrol.

This represents a C-47 from the IX Troop Carrier Pathfinder Group. On 6 June 1944 at 0016 hrs this aircraft dropped Pathfinder Stick No. 19 from the 502nd PIR over Drop Zone C Normandy. All Unit markings have been painted over.

Added interior with sandbag floor to my converted ACAV.

Maybe he could be used as a REMF "In the rear with the gear".

I got the urge to do a Firefly so here it is. Began with the excellent K&C version DD-135. Cut off front fenders and added stowage. Decals from the spare parts box so not accurate, just going for looks. Added .50 cal machine gun, not common on these but I did find a few pictures of them...

Famous scene from "The Eagle Has Landed". Col Pitts gets owned by a German paratrooper.

The tank is darker green than the marines green.

Heres a shot of the Collectors Showcase Patton with the K&C Marines street fighting in Hue. I agree this is one Heavy tank.

Another converted FOV Tow carrier, this time the Israeli M113 Zelda is portrayed checking out a destroyed T55.

Yes I re-weathered and re-decaled it to be a marine tank

Collectors showcase

US Marines advance with Armor support during Battle of Hue.

Thats the beauty of the US M113 in Vietnam, regulations were seldom followed. They went from totally void of any markings to some outrageous decorations. I tend to lean toward regulation with a little graffiti. I really look forward to some K&C US Vietnam riders, they will look great on this...

Thanks for commenting. I grew up by Fort Polk and my uncle took me to the base/fort often. I fell in love with the M113 but I never had to live in one so I'm sure you have a very different view of it! I have a light weathering of Vietnam "red clay" above the tracks but it doesn't show up well...

A US 5th Infantry Division ACAV readies for the next mission.

Correct. He was doing a story on the patrol. Good Eye Sir!

K&C riders on a modified TCS M113.

No its the CS acav turret. I cut off the shields with a dremel. Had to add a few things but the CS M113 is a great piece to start with. Hinged the crew hatch, added exhaust pipe, scratch-built ammo cans. Spare parts decals and a few other odds and ends. Thanks for compliment.

Converted CS M113 with K&C Aussie Riders. I think they match up well.

IMHO the K&C look like they fit the CS M113 better than the K&C version. I have the Aussie riders on order so I will post a pic of them on the CS version. I'm in the middle of converting a CS M113 into an Aussie track.
