Tamiya 35040 1/35 scale M113 - accurate plastic assembly

The U.S. M113 APC is known for versatility across many services, and this Tamiya 1/35 kit reproduces the vehicle in scale with clear lines. It is a practical project for modellers who enjoy military vehicles and realistic finishing techniques.

Operational roles and modelling interest

The M113 served as a troop carrier, ambulance, command vehicle and more, capable of carrying 13 armed personnel in its standard configuration. These multiple roles make it interesting to model in various theatre-specific setups.

Construction flow and display guidance

Tamiya 35040 delivers a well organised build with parts that align cleanly when prepared correctly. After assembly, painting and subtle weathering will emphasise panel details and give the model a credible operational look.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires glue
  • Paint: Optional for enhanced realism
The kit focuses on exterior accuracy; internal detail is minimal. Modellers wanting interior scenes may need to add aftermarket parts or scratchbuild elements.
Use layered washes, chipping techniques and dust pigments to represent service wear on tracks and lower hull areas. Subtle streaking helps simulate operational grime.
Figures can complement the build and add scale context. Choose figures in compatible scale and pose them to reflect boarding, maintenance or command scenarios.
