Tamiya 1/35 M113 A2 Desert APC – A Military Classic in Scale
The Tamiya 1/35 M113 A2 Desert Armored Personnel Carrier is more than just a model – it's a detailed replica of one of the most iconic armored vehicles in military history. With sharp lines, precise molding, and historically accurate features, this kit is a favorite among scale modeling enthusiasts.
Why We Love the 1:35 Scale
Model builders appreciate the 1:35 scale because it offers the perfect balance between size and detail. Large enough to capture fine features like desert equipment, crew hatches, and vehicle textures, but compact enough to fit in dioramas and collections. This scale allows history to come alive on your workbench.
Historical Significance of the M113 A2
The M113 armored personnel carrier played a vital role in several major 20th-century conflicts, including the Vietnam War and the Gulf War. The A2 variant introduced better cooling systems and suspension, making it ideal for desert conditions. Tamiya has replicated these upgrades with remarkable attention to detail.
