Dragon Plastic Model Kit
Dragon M113 ACAV w/106mm Recoilless Rifle (1/35) 3575
During the Vietnam War, the standard M113 armoured personnel carrier often proved vulnerable due to its light aluminium armour and exposed crew positions. To address this, many were upgraded with ACAV (Armoured Cavalry Assault Vehicle) kits, which included heavy gun shields and additional firepower. One potent upgrade was the addition of an M40 106mm recoilless rifle, typically mounted on the roof to counter fortified enemy positions.
Dragon’s 1/35 scale model accurately recreates this Vietnam-era M113 variant, combining the company’s trusted M113 base kit with all-new parts for the ACAV configuration and M40 recoilless rifle. This enhanced version incorporates numerous 3D-printed and photo-etched components for true-to-scale fidelity, intricate detailing, and realistic finishes. Ideal for historical modellers and Vietnam War enthusiasts, this upgraded APC represents both the utility and the innovation seen in field-modified vehicles.
