Hello
Can someboby have a information that some Company prepare a French VAB 4x4 Valorize 1/35 ( with add-on armour ) in plastic ?
I know it is in resin but the price is to high for me ( I want to make a Afghanistan version ).
Best regards from Poland

Hi Chris,
I don't know of a plastic VAB valorise but there is a resin conversion cheaper than the Blast models one. (70 euros)
You can find it at http://fafamodelkit.com/

Some time ago, Heller had announced an upgraded kit of their VAB, but the idea was given up.



For Afghanistan theater, you can built a VAB with or without additionnal armor. Both of them have been deployed there.

Without armor:



With armor:

first solution:



second solution:

I confirm that FafaModelKit additional armor kit is a good one.
