Saw this on FB.. strange vehicle (for me).. and a company I never heard of before.. Anyone know them?

If this is true one of my top wants on any wish list is this!!!It is a Yugoslav built APC that saw use during the civil wars in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s.

No but I'm definitely interested!

Would like to see other pics before I commit.

Cheers,

Christophe

I've been waiting for one of these for so long. Going to have to pick one up...or two.

This is all I could find.. what seems like a Russian store called Westfront

Price is rather high

Hisham

An M-80 would be even better!

Christophe

Photos of the model on the Triglav Models FaceBook page shows something that is rather "rough" if you want to say something nice and diplomatic about it.

I only portray a member of the Diplomatic Corps on television and when I try to weasel into celebrity events serving top shelf booze; so, I'll say it:

it looks like .

Their FB page makes it look like its still a prototype, maybe it will get better?

A bit coarse, yes, but it exists and hopefully this will spur the big brands to get interested in Former Yugoslavian stuff.
As Christophe wrote, I'd love seeing a M-80.

Take one for the team then, buy it!

And yes it's for sale already, see above.

Cheers,

Christophe

On their FB page, they also show it on sale on e-bay for the same $131.. a bit much if the quality is not going to be that good

But like Olivier said, it might prompt plastic manufacturers to do this, or similar vehicles

Hisham

I really want one of these as well. I will take one for the team buy one and report back.

PE and Metal tracks.

Well it arrived.

What can I say!!!!

I will do fuller in box review in due course, but it is certainly a very mixed bag. The body is a single piece resin that is rough with very poor small details like bolt heads, but the shape looks good and it is all square. The resin sands OK. Smaller parts are OK, but the PE (2 sheets) are amazing. Really well done. The fenders are quite thick steel (I think), very sturdy. Tracks are also nice, look like Fruil, but better with no flash. Instructions are in English, and I assume Slovenian and are quite comprehensive. Also includes a DVD with further instructions, which I will watch later.

Most important is that is look like a M-60P and using my Miniart SU-76M and some spares it looks like it can be built.

Thanks for the mini review.

Cheers,

Christophe

They're working on a new Medevac variant

Hello... instead of bringing back these old threads, why don't you contact one of the guys in the news team with this news and have them post it as a news item... that will be better for you

Hisham

Having seen quite of few of them in the Yugoslav war in 1994 I guess it was a more or less standard armoured vehicle for infantery units. It is not too hard to find reference pictures of them, from new to completely burned out. Some very colourful types drove around, used by the Serbian and Croatian troops, who spend quite some time on the 'nose art'! So, if a decal company offers these a little, but very atractive (If you can call it that way) AFV will be part of the collection.
