Great reincarnation of an older kit.

I look forward to building this kit. I first built a identical kit way back in 1977 and I was a bit over my head; I hadn't moved on to painting a kit and stayed with "paint covers glue and mistakes" way of thinking. I can't wait to the build process and accurate paint. Internet Research in hand, this is going to begin this weekend.

Original Aftermarket Equipment

A good method for creating windows for your caboose. Secure in place with tape, white glue or that new adhesive 5 Second Fix ultraviolet glue.

Great replacement part.

Bought this to use on a undecorated shell. Drop in easy and no wiggling to make it fit. I had looked for this for a few months and then bought these.

Awesome

Typical excellent quality from Microscale, fantastic in that the thinness of the decal permits detail to show thru and allow a realistic model.

Great for Refurbs.

I bought these to refurbish old Athearn locomotives and rolling stock. Collectible and Special Editions that were incomplete are now 100%.

1980s era kit.

This was among the best from the 1980s and not remade as New Issue since then. Kit-bashing with a -113 kit can give you an opportunity to create a kit with the motor exposed. The upper Hull (roof) can be left unsecured and removable to model the interior. This was used as a Command Post Carrier, a Fire Direction Center for the Field Artillery and a Medical Transport. The interior can be modelled in many different ways, but interior photos are limited online. Some photos are limited due to security concerns. (Troop locations, enemy locations on maps, radio frequencies, charts, etc.)

Classic...

I first built one prior to joining the U.S.Army in 83 and gave it to my Recruiting Station along with a M1, Hawk missile launcher and radar and a couple of 151 jeeps. I was able to fabricate a tent extension using excess sprue and tissue. After getting to my first unit I was able to see how very close to the full size track it was. I built 3 more over the course of time and the last one has 3D printed radios and OE 254 antennas scratch built. This is a good kit to start out a modern Command Post in a Field Artillery or Armored unit or some Infantry units.

Great reference material!

Many older photos of a bygone era. Using these books as references in modeling and such.

Awesome and quick.

I was not expecting this as quick as this, but very satisfied. Two purchases shipped together. Very good communication. No regrets.
