Hello!

What does NZ stand for here?

The interior is lookin good! IMO you should work more on the engine bay walls - they look a little bare and the ejector pin marks dont’t help, neither… But I like the overall effect a lot and am looking forward to more pics! Good luck and have a nice day

I would assume as used by New Zealand.

Yes New Zealand , our guys drove Australian ones in the Vietnam war then bought our own and modified them to suit. I learnt to drive them in this variation.

I thought it looked very much like the Australian ones. The T50 turret looks really cool on the 113, though Academy’s rendition looks a little tall? Do the NZ vehicles have the air filter box on the cargo hatch like the Aussie ones?

yes air filter box and fan that made quite a racket. t50 turret on NZ carriers started with .50 on left .30 on right, then swapped to .50 on right .30 on left then dropped .30 for FN 7.62. Turret basket arrangement was very simple. you can see later turret in my profile picture
