The Tamiya 35265 kit reproduces the M113A2 armoured personnel carrier in 1/35 scale for modellers who enjoy realistic military subjects. The model captures the APC that was widely used to move supplies and personnel in the 2003 Iraq theatre.

Upgrades and Field Modifications

The M113A2 entered production from June 1979 after a series of upgrades based on battlefield lessons. Notable improvements were a revised transmission, stronger suspension components and enhanced cooling. Fuel storage was relocated to reduce risk, smoke dischargers were installed on the front, and Combat Identification Panels helped identify friendly vehicles during Gulf operations.

This 1/35 scale kit by Tamiya highlights the M113A2's external fittings, including the trim vane, smoke shell launchers and external fuel tanks. Model builders receive stowage and ammunition details plus two crew figures. Decals supply marking choices for Iraq and Bosnia-Herzegovina vehicles.
