Hi Gang,

just recently watched a documentation on TV called "Military Movers". Among the Movers shown there was the USMC Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle. So far no news about the real vehicle. Has the project been cancelled? And if yes, how long can the AAV-7 been held in service?

Thanks for any information
Hans-Hermann

Hi Hans-Hermann

Salut HP,

thanks for the update, a shame they cancelled it, liked its performance in the show.
@TRumpeter/HobbyBoss Why not doing some modern "Paper Panzers", I think the EFV will sell equally as an E50.

It was cancelled by the President soon after taking office in 2009 (there was a faction that wanted it cancelled prior). The interesting fact about it is that TACOM spent a lot of money tooling it up before being cancelled. So now all that equipment it setting there rotting. I did a lot of work on that project
