Modelling the M113 Series (Osprey Modelling)

I think the book is great for what it discuses but the problem was that even though the title Says modeling the M113 series it is primarily modern and Canadian equipment. So if your work on a Nam era Cav M113 this will be of no help.

I own most of the Osprey Modelling series, but this is the first time I got so excited after two chapters I jumped onto the internet searching for the kits he used. I found 'em! Graeme Davidson is a fine modeller and a good teacher. The photographs of his progress through each "kit-bash" are beautiful, and clear. His writing is also clear, and encouraging. Each project is rated for difficulty, starting with the two "easiest" ones I want to try. The reason I stated 'relief' in the title: since I first drifted into armor modelling from my former preoccupation with aircraft I've become a little weary of the black-and-white world of WW 2, all the blessed TIGER kits, and even The Shermans, which I had always liked. Mr. Davidson has helped to open a way out of that for me. If you want to build something fresh in the world of AFVs this book will help. Get one and get started!
