I was surfing for M113 ACAV pictures, and I found this very cute / cool miniature made for wargaming with a very nice history. See the story that I used the picture in here

M113 ACAV (VBX07)

M113 ACAV (VBX07) *link*
with four M113 ACAV, optional 40mm Grenade Launcher turret, Stowage sprue and Decal sheet.

The M113 ACAV (Armoured Cavalry Assault Vehicle) was developed by the 11th ‘Blackhorse’ Cavalry based on feedback from South Vietnamese units.

Check out the M113 ACAV in the online store here...

They fitted an armoured tub for the commander and gun shields for two machine-guns on the sides, converting the M113 into a (rather large) tracked scout carrier.

Since the M114 armoured reconnaissance carrier it replaced only had three crew, the cavalry units had to scrounge extra crew for the bigger M113 ACAV until the official crew allocation eventually caught up.

Below: The decal sheet for the M113.
