1/72 Esci M113 vs 1/72 Italeri M113 ACAV

Hi

is the Italeri 1/72 M113 ACAV a re-release of the old Esci M113? I have the old Esci m113 and the single bogie wheels are the reason it remains unbuilt!

Yes, the Italeri M113A1 is the Esci kit, or more specifically, the Esci M113 ACAV that was released with Special Forces troops.
