How many of you had a chance to touch an AFV track with a model kit on the other hand at his age?

introduction
  • The photo is taken on 8th Plasticbattle Armor Model Show organized by Turkish Modeler Forum Plasticbattle and sponsored by FNSS Defense Systems, manufacturer and supplier of tracked and wheeled armored combat vehicles and weapon systems for the Turkish and Allied Armed Forces. Show was held in FNSS facilities - Golbasi-Ankara,Turkey on 5-6th September 2015.

  • FNSS was again a great host with unlimited drink services, lunch and receptions and small gifts for modelers.

It was great to see Samur-Armored Amphibious Assault Bridge, ACV-19 Akinci- Armored Combat Vehicle and especially Pars 8x8 Wheeled Armored Vehicle. At the end of demo, visitors were invited to get into the vehicles and take close-up photos.
