About product

M 163 Vulcan conversion set in 1:35

A conversion set from Black Dog for a model of the American M163 Vulcan self-propelled anti-aircraft system in 1:35. It is not a kit of the vehicle: it is an accessory with which a model of the tracked carrier is moved toward the shape of the anti-aircraft version. The manufacturer gives the exact make-up of the package.

The real subject

The M163 came about by mounting a rapid-fire rotary cannon on the proven American M113 tracked carrier. The aim was to defend units on the move against low-flying targets, which also called for a radar range finder and a distinctive turret with a prominent cover. Practice showed, though, that the machine suited firing at ground targets very well too, and it was in that role that it was used most. The combination of a light tracked chassis and an unusual turret makes the Vulcan one of the most recognizable machines of its era.

How to make use of the set

The conversion changes the upper part of the vehicle, so it pays to plan the order of work and keep access to the places the turret will later cover. The barrel cluster will take metallic shades and sooting at the muzzle. The M113 chassis is rewarding for mud and dust effects, because the tracks and the underside catch the dirt first. Olive green and a desert palette both make sense on these machines, depending on the scene you choose.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers of American Cold War vehicles in 1:35
  • Anyone interested in anti-aircraft systems on a tracked chassis
  • Builders of dioramas with vehicles escorting a column
  • Builders who want to set a model apart from an ordinary carrier

No. In practice it was very often used for firing at ground targets as well.
