Manufacturer: Tamiya 1/35 scale The Australian Army acquired the M113 in the early 1960s, selecting it over other tracked vehicles due to its suitability for tropical conditions and amphibious capability.  The first bulk delivery of M113A1 APCs began in 1965, with a troop of eight from the 4th/19th Prince of Wales’s Light Horse assigned to the 1st Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, and  deployed to South Vietnam in May 1965.  The M113 provided protection against small arms and allowed troops to traverse challenging terrain, including  jungle and river crossings.
