M113 fire track - Long Binh General depot - Vietnam war

[bao.nguyen]

Hi guys,

I am from Vietnam. Here my scratch building model.

In 1965 after first US infantryman stepped on Danang beach - many APC M113 arrived in Vietnam with huge amount. A lot of them was hit by RPG :D

One of them changed from "VC" fighting to fire fighting, served at Long Binh general depot.

They can break through the shell-fire or fuel-fire, drop X-foam to control fire.

The special thing of this fire track is totally non-resin:)
