Looking great, following. 👍

Mona
looking forward to seeing more of this project👍.my uncle(5th SF) was in country just after TET and one of the few things he ever... spoke of more than once, was about riding on top of a M113 that rolled over a mine

Mathias Decommere
Thank you Mona, that must have been a terrifying experience. The idea would be a fortified position in the Mekong Delta. I'm planning to build a sandback bunker and a piece of ricefield. The M113's will be stationary in a defensive position. Soldiers will be relaxed not knowing what is coming. But the layout is still evolving. Haven't decide the size of the groundwork yet. I'll be starting the diorama base soon... Will be continued 😉

Neuling
Looking forward ........

Spanjaard
vehicles look really good, looking forward the rest of the dio

Kim Branders
Love the dusty look.

Mathias Decommere
Thank you Neuling, Spanjaard and Kim! I'm starting the diobase this week!

Mr James
Looking good Mathias. Lovely work on the M113's. What did you use as the 50 cal casings?

Mathias Decommere
Thanks Mr James, I used simply the copper of an electric wire. An idea I got from lasercreationworld. It is a bit too narrow, but the overal impression works I think.

John
Good luck with this one, interested to see how you deal with all the fun!

Dave
following this build.

Mr D
Hi Martin 👋😁👍
Looks like interesting kit.
How old is the kit..??

Martin
Thanks Gentlemen!
@Mr. D: The Revell boxing is from 1979/1980 the original ESCI kit is from 1978

Mr D
Thanks Martin 👍
Like it 👌

CaptGPF
Boy, the add-on alone are going to cost more than the kit! I'm taking a seat to see how you spruce this one up!

Maciej Bellos
Joining in!

Rando
Oh my what a project. Will be interesting to see how those detail parts will do. Also nice sheet, what decal option are you going with?

Desert Marlin
That's a challenge!!!

Martin
Thanks a lot gentlemen! Well all those stuff collected dust for many many years, when scale models and add on didn't have such high prices like today, so all this wasn't more than 30 bugs bought at model shows.
@Rando, I haven't decided yet, it will be an US one, but not sure which one.

Desert Marlin
I'll keep watching!

Nice work, one of the most underrated kits. Easy, nice, cheap... (decals could be better, though)

Cuajete
Good progress 👍

Not much help: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degaussing

Treehugger
Right. I see there are other photos of Dido cruisers apparently without a de-gaussing cable, but maybe post-war stuff. Maybe some other novel tech replacing the old one perhaps.
