During the Vietnam conflict, the Australian M113s were fitted with sponson armour on each side of the vehicle, to help counter the threat of mines and IEDs. This modification occurred from 1969 onwards. All M113 in Australian service were fitted with this armour. M113 FSV hulls that had their turrets removed and sent to New Zealand Army also had this armour fitted to them.

This update kit is suited to the Andy's Hobby Headquarters 1/16 M113A1/M113A1 ACAV Armored Personnel Carrier AHHQ-009. Download instructions for guide to fit.
