M132 Armored Flame Thrower Model 1/35th Scale Vietnam Era

The M132 was an M113 Armored Personnel Carrier converted into flame thrower vehicle. It had a copula with a flame thrower and a .30 machine gun in the commanders hatch. The crew compartment was replaced with 200 gallons of fuel for the flame thrower along with a M10 pressure and fuel unit. They were used for taking out bunkers, setting off booby traps and defoliating. It carried 32 seconds worth of fuel for the flame thrower.
This model is a M113 I customized by adding a resin kit flame thrower copula. The side skirts along the tracks have been removed as they would be lost by the heavy foliage of Vietnam or removed ahead of time. This one would be from around 1969 with the art and peace symbol.
In the last photo it is in a herringbone formation with an ACAV and M48 Patton tank.
