The FV432 APC is the most numerous British Post War AFV, designed by GKN as a 'Battlefield taxi' for infantry, similar to, but better protected and mobile than the American M113. The basic APC nicknamed 'Trojan', was produced between 1963 and 1971 and can carry a full section of infantry in addition to the two man crew.
With the introduction of Warrior, the FV432 ceased to be used as an APC, but still serves in many units. many hundreds' served in the Gulf War of 1990-91 and many still serve today in all British Army theatres of operation.
This 1/35th scale model by Jon Bottomley depicts a Mk-2 (Diesel engine) version and was completely revised in 2004. This all resin model features internal detail, opening hatches & doors, tools and etched brass head-lamp guards. Decals specific to the mortar version are also included.
This version is fitted out with the full 81mm Mortar on rotating platform and with full ammunition stowage. |
