The M132 was a modified M113 APC with a specialised turret that contained the flame gun and a supporting 0.5″ MG. The rear troop compartment was filled by a number of petrol and compressed gas tanks that were linked to the flame gun in the turret and offered around 30 seconds of operation. This vehicle was used in the Vietnam war, but was declared obsolete due to a change of policy in later years.

This product is the turret to fit the M113 model (available separately). A small length of wire is required to model the MG, as this does not print effectively at this scale.
