It's painted with the basic camo but I've had trouble finding good references for this vehicle. I think it will either have to be BAOR or KFOR. It's got the smaller NBC pack. Does this make it newer or older? Does this vehicle operate in a mechanized infantry unit or is it more specialized?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
Try here : www.fv432.com
I seem to remember reading that theres a new book due soon on the FV 432 family, not sure where I read it though.
What kit are you using is it the AA one ?
I have an AA FV438 with the Swingfire launcher in my to do pile, looks good in the box.
Happy modelling :-)

Thanks for the site link. Yes, it is the Accurate Armour FV432 that I built. It was my first resin kit. A little tough but the build is done. Hope yours doesn't have too much flash on the white metal.
I used the AFV Profile on the FV432, British Army of the Rhine and the British Army Picture Library for my main references.

The book will be out around the first of the year. It will be titled "The FV430 Series" and will cover all 27 variations of this FOV.
