Beautiful work! I love your weathering effect as well as the attention given to the Interior.
A couple years ago, I backdated a diecast 1/18 M-113 into a reasonably accurate M-113A1 ACAV, including the turret and MG shields as well as the rear fenders among other features... I didn’t do as much in the inside, though...

Great job on your ACAV! Did you hand make the gun shields and markings? The 1/18 M113 is my prized vehicle. I also convert the Forces of Valor 1/32 M901 ITV into different versions of the M113. I post them on the FOV page. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for the kind comments Mark! The turret shields and MG shields were a set made by a member of the Small Scale Headquarters (SSHQ) forum, Picklehaube/Matthew Higgins a few years ago. The rear fenders and spare bogey wheel were 3D printed parts from Shapeways, and all the boxes, etc. were from Build-a-Rama. I love the 21st M-113 as it was such a customizable and versatile vehicle that could be easily modified.
