Hello,
Anyone know anything about this? Azimut has a price listed, so I assume it's available now.
http://www.phpshopxml.com/azimut.shop/CID/01acc30625f170c0c5229c5c1d3ff52c/function/itemPageDisplay/shopItemCode/AZI35118
Does it come with weapons, figures, or PE?
(I emailed Azimut, but if anyone is in France, I'd like to know their opinions if they lay eyes on this resin kit). Thanks.

Thanks, Olivier.
I'm kind of wondering if anyone gave input to Azimut...or Legends...or anyone about the USMC IFAV.

Peter,
here is what I got : first no figures, then you have in the box extended wings, extensions for the chassis, new seats, right side air vent, MG support, protection bar over the crew compartment (I don't know the technical term), resin wheels and spare wheel bracket.
Some PE parts are also in the box mainly for the headlights protections and air vent mesh,
I guess you know this is a conversion for the Revell Wolf not a full kit.
The guy who gave me the info said the kit was good in terms of casting and accuracy.

Hi Olivier,
Thanks for the info. I'm still hoping for photos from someone, even Azimut. So far, no reply from them. Did you receive any photos of the kit or instructions?

The IFAVs are also in the process or have already been replaced by the M1161 Internally Transportable Vehicle-Light Strike Variant.
The "Special Operations Capable" modifier for MEUs was also dropped in 2006, following the creation of MARSOC in late 2005 and the subsequent reorganization of USMC reconnaissance elements. The IFAVs should have been available to all MEUs previously as well, not just those that had completed the SOC certification, as was the Fast Attack Vehicle variant of the M151A2 that it replaced.
