Maybe a little light on detail, but ease of assembly can't be beat:

...OK, I lied...this surprise was waiting for me when I got home today...a military training model. A gift from the esteemed webmaster at the VHPAmuseum (www.vhpamuseum.org) John Conway...because he's a good egg and thought of me when he saw this at a militaria swap meet. He said there were about 40 of them, but this was the only one really intact (like, what can go wrong?...OK, the track assembly was off one side, but a little glue fixed that). It has "M113" very roughly cast or engraved on the bottom...I guess in case the "trainers" forget....

It's very close to 1:35 scale....

That is obviously why it was available to the public. The new ones marked GAVIN have been received

Is it air-transportable? And is it amphibious?

You mean 'Bobs GAVIN'? Rolling Eyes

I'm sure it is,.....

At 1/35 scale, you can throw it at Bob Shocked

,...or 'chunk it' in a lake!!! Mr. Green

I resisted the temptation to call it a "MicroG****", at least.
