M-113 bodging - part 3

While the PVA was drying earlier, cut out the various hatches and so on from balsa or mdf. It’s important to not get carried away with details but to add the significant bits. I add the trim vane on the front, the drivers and commanders round hatches, two engine grilles, the main compartment roof hatch and the rear door, the latter with its characteristic ‘cut corner’.

Again, leave the PVA to dry. The erratic quality control on my production line is evident from the varying angles of the front plates....

Great stuff Tim. Using the printed side images is a stroke of genius.
