I saw it too. It looks pretty nice. I was wondering where the Revell kit went too. I can still see a few green pieces there.

I wonder how much it will cost though.

For the record, it's been out for months now...

I have bought the special forces version back in early December, that was released later than the version shown on PMMS.

Cheers,

Christophe

Christophe.

I saw the Special Forces version at Telford this November and looks nice. However, I looked on the ADV website and cannot find that conversion listed. Did I miss it or is it not there yet? How did you get the conversion? Etc...

Here's the working link (I hope...) to the IFAV conversion set :

and here's the one to the French Special Forces VPS (Véhicule de Patrouille Spéciale) :

Yes you're right, they released it but didn't put it on the website, maybe they did a very small production run? I bought it from the Azimut shop in Paris, they had two or three on the shelves.

Cheers,

Christophe

PS : Frenchy we're not talking about the French Special Forces version (which I have also) but the USMC special forces (not sure what they are called).

OK...I didn't know the Marines use two different vehicles based on the MB 290.

When I saw it at Telford I think they referred to it as the SEAL IFAV, which I have no info about. Is that correct? Also, Christophe... Does the set have a stock number?

Hi Christophe

Does this picture you've posted on another forum show the variant released by Azimut ?



If so the pictured IFAV above looks very similar to this one (save for the front winch)

If you mean the photo of the box of my kit on "Les colleurs de plastique", yes.
