M113 ACAV

45.5k Sgtk  6.8 years ago

The Wiki: The M113 is a fully tracked armored personnel carrier that was developed by Food Machinery Corp. The vehicle was first fielded by the United States Army's mechanized infantry units in Vietnam in April 1962. The M113 was the most widely used armored vehicle of the U.S. Army in the Vietnam War, earning the nickname 'Green Dragon' by the Viet Cong as it was used to break through heavy thickets in the midst of the jungle to attack and overrun enemy positions. It was largely known as an "APC" or an "ACAV" (armored cavalry assault vehicle) by the allied forces.

I have modeled the ACAV version here, armed with a main .50cal in the Commanders turret (VTOL) and two M60 LMG's on the flanks, accessed through the rear top hatch. AG-1 will open the Drivers Hatch (Cam1) and the rear top hatch. Ag-2 will Open the rear main hatch to unload cargo/troops and Ag-3 will open the maintenance hatches/covers. Pitch and Roll cover steering, and Cam 2 is in the seating area.

Special thanks and shout-out to @GermanWarMachine for the suggestion. As always, please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement or if there is a vehicle you would like to see recreated. Thank you for stopping by to look, and enjoy your ride!!
