The M113 is an American armored personnel carrier used by the US Army and by over fifty other countries.

The Eduard XT073 masking set ensures a flawless visual effect without the time-consuming manual cutting of masks – simply peel them off, apply them to the wheel rims and hubs, and then cover with your chosen paint. This prevents paint seepage and unwanted streaks. The masks are extremely thin and leave no residue after removal. This product is recommended to all modelers who value precision and clean workmanship. It guarantees a clear separation of tire and rim colors even on the smallest details, making your M113 model look even more realistic.
