Tamiya Models M113A2 APC Desert Version Model Kit

Good model kit to put together.Instructions were easy to follow.

Decided to not weather this one and leave it plain Jane. No fit issues at all. Accessories were well detailed and a pleasure to paint. Well worth the money. You will enjoy this one!

This model is up to usual Tamiya standards, went together with no issues and looks very good. A nice addition to my collection!

I originally built this kit back in 2003 when it first came out. For all its faults I actually enjoyed building it, so I decided to try it again more than a decade later. It’s released as an update of an old Tamiya M113 kit with new OIF parts and features. Did I say old? Yes, the base kit is from 1974 (YIKES!). It’s been released and re-released over the decades with added new parts and figures.Pros: Easy kit to build – (good fit, small parts count), fairly nice representation of an OIF M-113, the new parts (which includes stowage) have great detail and the moldings are clean - a testament to 21st century molding technology.Cons: the base kit is showing its age badly – very badly. The original kit was motorized so you can see motorization holes and fixed, molded-on suspension arms – it’s really a relic of a bygone era. Why can’t Tamiya just remold everything? Also, in one of its previous incarnations (re-released in the 1980’s, I think), this kit had an interior. For this version, this feature was entirely omitted.Recommended (with reservations).

As usual with Tamiya kits- great detail and parts fit as they should!

Excelente producto tal y como lo describen en la publicación, calidad 5 estrellas 100% satisfecho con la compra.Muchas gracias.

This is a good model kit although it does have a few drawbacks. This has been reissued many times over the years and since it's original release they have removed the engine and interior components even though the spots for them are still there. It comes with plenty of components to add to the exterior which afforded me the opportunity to dress it up like the way we actually went to the field with everything strapped to the outside. You can set it up in different configurations which so you can create your own special touch. It was worth the money spent.

Nicely detailed and typical Tamiya Armor kit
