Tamiya 35135 - 1/35 U.S. M113 ACAV Military Model Kit - Collector grade static kit  [35135]

Overview of the Tamiya 1/35 U.S. M113 ACAV kit

The Tamiya 1/35 U.S. M113 ACAV model kit is a static display project for scale enthusiasts. It recreates the armoured personnel carrier used by the U.S. Army in the Vietnam era with considerable interior and exterior detailing.

Service history and model accuracy

The M113 ACAV (Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle) earned its reputation in Vietnam for utility and resilience. Tamiya mirrors that operational pedigree with parts that reflect actual vehicle construction, including a treaded floor, crew seats and an engine compartment for authentic internal representation.

Box contents and assembly features

The kit contains a cupola with a protective gun shield and a .50 caliber machine gun, an accurately modelled rear cargo hatch and a forward access hatch which can be posed open or closed. The suspension assembly and continuous vinyl tracks enhance the realistic appearance, while accessories such as rolled chain link fence, cots, M-60 machine guns and on-vehicle tools provide options for detailed scenes. Three well-detailed figures are included for diorama use.
