Hi Guys,

Here is the second of the M113 photos… A WW2 vintage Diamond T, still in Australian service, is utilized to transport an M113 with engine problems back to base.

Our U.S. Army Diamond T has been digitally amended and converted into Australian Army markings.

Hope you like it. Please feel free to comment.

Best wishes,
Andy

Tom mate,
You are so right cobber. It is like Christmas has come early in April. I liked that Diamond T from the moment I saw it when released, but it is strange how the addition of a kangaroo to the cab door can change "like" to "must have".
Now only have to count down the days until the mighty Aussie Centurion is released in July and all my K&C dreams will have come true.

Many thanks to young Andy for his wonderful work.

Cheers Howard
 
Howard Mate looking forward to seeing your conversions,actually I might see them before you over a beer at John's

Wayne mate,
Your probably right cobber. I have a collector, Jock McCormack, a Scot, funny about that, who wants 30A on his M113 as this was the vehicle he served in as a radio operator in NAM. 30A in August, 1966 was the Troop Leader's vehicle commanded by Lt. Adrian Roberts and it was his Troop than charged the NVA and VC at the Battle Of Long Tan coming to the rescue of the besieged "D" Coy 6 RAR. He tells some fascinating stories.

Don't fill Obee up with too many beers while he is doing my repaints!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers Howard

Howard,

I thought that you would just love to see the new Centurion on the transporter ...... ???

Maybe in later this year?

As I understand it, you might have to modify the trailer a little, as this tank will be a giant. More use of your talents to come John. Robin.

Alas John, the 'Centurion' is a monster and too big...even for the Diamond T!
With apologies,
Andy.
