1/18 Australian M113

[rowdy]

Picked up a used M113 and decided to convert it to an Aussie version circa 1992. Still a few things to do to it. The Blackhawk is also 1/18 and converted to S-70A specs. Cheers

P.s. If anyone has any wheels off this model in a parts box I'd be very interested.

Those look great! Man I love the M113, I need more of them!

Love the color schemes.

Great job.
The turret looks great along with the paint jobs.
The BH with the 4 bladed prop who makes that ?
Did you customize the prop hub on a BBI or is that one of the Peace Keepers helos ?

I am pretty sure the standard BBI Blackhawk was 4-bladed.

I think the cheaper one was too, but I never had one of those.

Dang, I miss the good BBI stuff. I love the paint on both of the Aussie vehicles here.

My old Pickelhauk has 4 blades. Never seen a bbi with less.

WTF is that?!? I do not remember one with side guns that didn’t require cutting holes in the side of your expensive bird.

BBI did a direct to consumer "specOps blackhawk" which was basically Pickelhaube's but for sell directly.

I think it came out at $199 which was crazytalk to me, so I didn't buy one.. now they're like $600 or something ridiculous. Thankfully the one I got from you is pretty similar.

Every time I look at this M113, I am reminded how this great little APC has lasted through the years and how many iterations have been made. I have the 21st Century toys version and it is one of the few models that doesn’t get a timeout in storage.
