Tongde M113A1 ACAV Detailing

Waiting on some paint supplies to be delivered so things are on hold for now. I've been having some problems with that Rustoleum paint, it doesn't like to work or play well with others.

Progress so far on the troop compartment.

Looking really good man. Love your build work.

Worked on fitting the intake and exhaust screens from the AHHQ brass parts included in the kit. The intake screen was a direct fit. The exhaust screen would not work because it has a slight offset that matches the real screen configuration. I found a replacement piece of fine mesh screen on Amazon that worked as a replacement.

Here is the replacement mesh. They have several sizes to chose from.

Tdriver, I like the screen you found; it looks great on your M113!!! I've finished one of the summer projects keeping me away from my hobby. On top of that, I finally got myself four 3DP Tanks, and I'm printing the M3 Lee, and the M3 Grant!!! I'll be starting a build thread for those soon. I'm starting to have too many projects going at the same time again. I don't want to get burned out as I did before!!!
