Academy 13266 1/35 Scale M113A1 Replica

The Academy 13266 kit reproduces the M113A1, a workhorse APC used extensively during the Vietnam War. Known for its adaptable design, the M113 series performed many duties in difficult conditions, and this 1/35 kit reflects its practical form for hobbyists who focus on historical modelling.

Service History at Scale

The M113A1 served as a multi-role vehicle, shuttling troops and equipment while offering modest armour protection. Model builders can capture those service qualities by assembling the kit to highlight the vehicle's characteristic profile.

Construction Tips for Modellers

The build sits at a medium to advanced level due to small details and the need for accurate painting and weathering to look convincing at scale.
Acrylic and enamel paints both work; typical schemes use olive drab and earth tones. Use a primer and thin coats for best coverage on plastic parts.
There are aftermarket detail sets and replacement tracks from specialist suppliers that can enhance realism, but the kit is complete for a faithful base build.
Yes, standard 1/35 figures, stowage and vehicle accessories will match scale and can be used to populate a diorama around the M113A1.
