Team Yankee Canadian Mechanized Infantry

From Battlefront here are 15mm M113 TOW, Blowpipe and mechanized infantry teams for the 4CMBG circa 1985. This gives me two infantry platoons to go with my Leopard C1s.

  1. Nicely done Dave, if you wanted to make them more authentic, just add a spiral of burlap wrapped razor wire on the front Trim vane

  2. Thanks Terry - is there a story or common practice behind the razor wire accessorizing?

  3. Local defence. Every track carried a roll for hasty defences when required.

  4. Also a funny thing about the location of the Maple Leaf Decal. It was perfectly located where the driver sat & we often thought of it as a target marker

  5. Very nice. I rode in an M113 as a kid and it was huge inside. Less so as an adult!

    1. Apart from driving one through Germany in the 80's it also served as my sleeping quarters on Exercise (drivers privilege)
