Hi all I couldnt find a topic on the future British Army SCOUT SV so i thought id start one ( very ) early just in case any model manufacturers are watching, they might want to start work early too

Scout SV - The British Army's "Smart-Tank" of the Future:

PMRS variant:

General Dynamics landed a £3.5 billion contract from the British Ministry of Defence last month to build 589 of the Scout vehicles. Lockheed Martin will deliver 245 turrets all carrying CTA International’s new 40mm cannon with its unique case telescoped ammunition. Deliveries start 2017 for the Protected Mobility Reconnaissance Support (PMRS) variant and 2019 for the 40mm Turreted variants.

I think it looks cool especially with the extra armour on the sides! Hopefully i will get to build one or more in the future.

Cheers, Bob

Looks cool, very cool. Shame to see all the CV(R)T's go out of service though :-(

Hi Paul,

Yes it is cool and the PMRS variant pre-production prototype looks great. Shame about the CV(R)T's but thats progress! And on the plus side In a few years there will be some great 1:1 scale bargains!

Cheers, Bob
