Academy 1/35 M113A1 “Vietnam War” – US Armoured Personnel Carrier Model Kit

The Academy 1/35 M113A1 Vietnam War plastic model kit recreates one of the most widely used armoured vehicles of the Vietnam conflict. Produced by Academy, this detailed 1/35 scale kit represents the legendary M113A1 armoured personnel carrier as operated by U.S. forces during the Vietnam War.

Nicknamed the “battle taxi,” the M113A1 played a crucial role in transporting infantry through difficult jungle terrain while providing armoured protection and fire support. Its mobility, reliability, and versatility made it one of the most recognisable armoured vehicles of the war.

This Academy kit accurately captures the distinctive features of the Vietnam-era variant, including the raised commander’s cupola and the iconic M2 Browning machine gun mounted for defensive firepower. The model includes finely moulded parts, realistic surface textures, and detailed external fittings that allow modellers to build an authentic representation of this historic vehicle.
