I used the M113A2 kit from Tamiya as the base of the model and modified the hull for the the interior part of the smoke generator mechanics, by cutting out a hole on the side. The smoke vent and all te extra details were scratchbuilt along with other small extra parts from other kits. I think I managed to protray it as close as possible. [:)]

Great job Charles! Like the subject matter too!

Very nicely done. Any reason why you chose OD green over NATO or desert tan?

Excellent build. What exactly does this vehicle do? Obviously generate smoke, but if anyone has any info, it’d be appreciated.

Great job Charles. I have the same question as Maj Rob though. Why OD Green? All I have seen are either sand or 3-color NATO camo.
