Tamiya 1/35 U.S. M113 ACAV kit - model overview

The Tamiya 1/35 U.S. M113 ACAV model kit provides an absorbing assembly project for military scale fans. Built as a static replica, it captures interior and exterior detail that reflects the vehicle's service life in Vietnam.

Context and faithful detailing

The M113 ACAV (Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle) was heavily used in operations during the Vietnam era. Tamiya recreates that heritage with accurate interior elements and structural detail. Notable model features include a treaded floor, seating and an engine compartment that communicate the original vehicle's construction.

Included parts and assembly notes

Included in the box is a cupola with gun shield and a .50 caliber machine gun, plus a true-to-life rear cargo hatch and forward access hatch that can be modelled open or closed. The suspension layout and continuous vinyl tracks are authentic, and accessories such as rolled chain link fence, cots, M-60 machine guns and on-vehicle tools increase diorama potential. Three detailed figures are supplied for crew scenes.
