ESCI 1/72 M-113
This is an oldie picked this up from an estate sale. Despite the kit's age, it built up pretty well. I thought it would be a quick little project until I dawned on me that the interior would be visible and require painting and weathering. It lacked some details, the instructions were a little vague, and the decals silvered a bit. Still, it was a nice way to add an iconic vehicle to the inventory.
These Esci-s were little gems as I recall. Even today I prefer an Esci Opel blitz over an Airfix one in 1:72. Nice build! 😉
Looks great ! I have an old Esci C-47 in the stash which appears promising.
Nice build, Dennis...looks as good as the venerable 35th Tamiya offering.

Not only does this model looks good as the Tamiya offering as Craig say's, it looks so much LIKE it. You did a wonderful job on it Dennis, I do expect to see it forming part of a diorama.
Great job Dennis , makes me want to dig into the stash and drag mine out . Must be karma I stumbled across the special forces from that kit today , don't know why there not in the box with the kit , but you know how those guys like to sneak around !
Esci used to make some nice kits, and this is obviously one of them, glad you enjoyed it.
Nice work! Last ESCI kit I built was a Tornado IDS, and I actually wish I had a few more ESCI kits in my stash, as it built into a nice model.
