Tamiya 1/35 U.S. M113 ACAV - kit highlights

The Tamiya 1/35 U.S. M113 ACAV model kit is aimed at scale hobbyists who value authentic interior and exterior reproduction. This static model echoes the look of the APC as fielded by U.S. forces during Vietnam.

Authenticity rooted in history

The M113 ACAV (Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle) was a key vehicle in Vietnam operations, known for ruggedness and adaptability. Tamiya's moulds capture that character, showing interior components like a treaded floor, crew seating and engine details so builders can get a clear sense of the vehicle's layout.

What comes in the box and build notes

The set includes a cupola with gun shield and a .50 caliber machine gun, precise rear cargo hatch and a forward access hatch that can be modelled open or closed. Realistic suspension and continuous vinyl tracks contribute to a convincing profile, while accessories such as rolled chain link fence, cots, M-60 machine guns and on-board tools expand display options. The kit also contains three accurately moulded figures for diorama scenes.

Yes, many modellers add metal barrels, photo-etched details or aftermarket track sets. Check compatibility with 1/35 accessories and be prepared to trim or adapt parts for a perfect fit.
Beginners can attempt this kit but should be comfortable with small parts and careful painting. It makes a good early intermediate project once basic modelling skills are in place.
The three figures are moulded with clear facial and uniform detail, suitable for crew placement in and around the vehicle to bring a display to life.
