Good luck with the build. The buckets have a fairly proud history down here so will be watching with interest.
Do you have any ties to them???

Really looking forward to this, love the M113 and have all the kits you have shown. What is the Mud and Dust book like? Thinking about buying it.

G'day all
ROBOPAUL Mud and dust is a great book IMOA. 6 3bp I don't have direct ties to the carriers other being ex Army (not RAAC) and have been in and around them , my interest is in their history here in Aus.

In these builds I will not be reinventing the wheel as the saying goes all upgrades have been discussed before in one forum or the likes before my intent is bring the information together in one convenient place.
I am working on some now and post photo soon but hat having some issue with loading them
