Tamiya 35135 - 1/35 U.S. M113 ACAV Military Model Kit - Detailed Vietnam-era APC  [35135]

Close-up look at the Tamiya 1/35 U.S. M113 ACAV kit

The Tamiya 1/35 U.S. M113 ACAV model kit delivers a focused build for military scale modellers. This static display kit is noted for its interior detailing and faithful recreation of the armoured personnel carrier used widely by the U.S. Army in the Vietnam conflict.

Why this M113 ACAV feels authentic

The M113 ACAV (Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle) was a workhorse in mid 20th century combat, especially during Vietnam. Tamiya has reproduced its form and function, highlighting features like a treaded floor, crew seats and an engine bay so builders can study the original machine's layout while assembling the model.

Parts, fit and what to expect while building

The kit supplies a cupola with a gun shield and a .50 caliber machine gun, plus a detailed rear cargo hatch and a forward access hatch that can be shown open or shut. The suspension and continuous vinyl tracks add realism, while accessories such as rolled chain link fence, cots, M-60 machine guns and on-vehicle tools boost display options. The box also contains three finely moulded figures for diorama work.
