Not sure if any of you have seen this before, but I just came across this on the net:


Looks pretty nice, but I have no idea who DToys are or where the hell you can get them from, I found this on a site called fine hobby, but its all in Japanese. They have a few other interesting releases too, namely some LAV and stryker wheel sets.

It doesn't look too bad - a little soft on detail perhaps. The PLGR is an integral part of the system, and I don't see it.
The computer looks to be there, second row, third item down, but it's hard to tell as it's a top view.
The antenna isn't mright either.
Some of our troops in the field probably remember the PACS acronym.

actually it looks like the old applique system that was first fielded as a means to get the system out there, but did not have all the hardware for the actually BFT. Saw this in 2000 with 3rd BDE, 2 ID. Not a bad start with an exception of the wrong computer being used and no BFT antenna.

It is made in Korea. Korean newly brand.
They released mostly modern-ERA US products like tires for LAV, Stryker, HMMWVV etc.
Its price looks very cheaper in Korean market. Its price approximately $9.

It seems there's no promotional website yet. But with onlineshoppingmall you can see what models are released below.

Technically it is NOT a Blue Force tracker, it is FBCB2. It uses SINCGARS as the data transceiver. BFT uses the MT-2011 Sat Transceiver. I know its a "technicality", SINCGARS does not transmit Over The Horizon, the MT-2011 does. It does have the PLGR antenna though. Most units are using the Dagger instead of the PLGR nowadays. The "pole" looking antenna reminds me of the WARLOCK antenna.

The antenna is actually an M105 series antenna for the CREW AKA Warlock Duke device . The nodules on the sides look to be overdone rivets.
