Collectors Showcase is making some very cool and exciting things. Check this out for Vietnam.







This will be more formally announced in a couple of weeks. I think Brian said $230.

He also said that in the near future a Huey and a Medevac will be coming out. How cool is that!

The APC M113 looks great and will be very popular with Vietnam collectors. An alternate paint scheme so we can have multiples would be appreciated.

Steve, Straight out of basic Training in 1983 I went to Fort Hood as a "Private" and was the driver of the M113 until we got the
Bradley Fighting Vehicles issued a year later. These could turn on a dime using those vertical dual control handles. Mine did not
have the .50 Cal. gun shield.

Hi Wayne.....My big chance came when i was invited as a civilian onto the base where my wifes brother was stationed, he was also an M113 driver. he arranged to take the vehicle out on the training ground and when we were out of site he climbed out and he pushed me behind the sticks!!!!.
WOW what a buzz that was and you"re right about turning on a dime, my first right turn was a U turn and i was looking back the way i came and there were 2 small trees less on the terrain!!..but i soon got the hang of it and the memory of that day will always be with me....The version i drove had a turret with a 20mm auto cannon on top.

In 1970 I was in Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio Texas, in the medical corp.
Some of my friends used an M113 as a "pot house"......at night they would smoke
pot in the vehicle with hatches shut to get a more intense "high". Fortunately they
never drove them high!
