Academy 13568 M113 Fitter AFV 1/35 – Plastic Model of a Cold War Era Technical Support Vehicle

The Academy 13568 M113 Fitter AFV 1/35 scale plastic model kit is a faithful replica of the specialized version of the armored recovery vehicle, one of the most recognizable support vehicles of NATO armed forces in the second half of the 20th century. Like the base M113 personnel carrier, the Fitter variant was also developed in the United States and widely produced for the militaries of countries such as the USA, Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, Israel, and West Germany. This vehicle was primarily in service from 1960–1990, typically during the Cold War, providing invaluable logistical support to front-line units.

The M113 Fitter was distinguished by its roof-mounted workshop crane, complete equipment for battlefield recovery and repairs of combat vehicles. Thanks to this, it served as a key element in technical support during maneuvers, NATO exercises, and in combat operations—for example in the Yom Kippur War or during UN missions in Yugoslavia.

• Model produced in the popular 1/35 scale, ensuring excellent reproduction even of the smallest details—especially workshop equipment components and the crane mechanism.
• Manufactured by renowned company Academy, guaranteeing precise fit of parts and high-quality workmanship.
• The kit includes plastic sprues from which you build the hull, chassis, and body details—without resin or photo-etched elements, making the model suitable for intermediate-level modelers.
• Included NATO and US Army decals allow you to create authentic Cold War-era paint schemes and markings.
• The model is excellent both as a standalone display piece or as a technical vehicle in a realistic diorama—e.g., a scene of repairing a Leopard tank, M60, or Wheeled APC vehicles.
