A LOT of people are going to love this one

I can see a series of FV432 variants coming from this initial release. Well done Takom!

About time someone did this!

Phhhwww.... Good that I skipped purchasing the AA kit.

That really answers a ton of wishes! It looks like it will be a great model. Well, based on a single render it is hard to make that claim. Takom does seem to do some nice plastic though. Many fans of modern British armor will be cheering at this.

Not too interested in the base vehicle, but I'm being hopeful to see a Swingfire version!

Can't wait.....

Very cool. Where did you find it listed? I wonder what else is in the pipe?

Loved it!

Wow! And "Wow" again.

Truly, good things do come to those who wait. British armour fans will be delighted I'm sure.

Endless variants of this APC eg 81mm Mortar, Rarden 30mm turret, 7.62mm Peak engineering turret, Carl Gustav, WOMBAT anti tank gun, several signals variants, and many others.

Thank you Takom.

Judging by the mesh basket on the hull roof it's going to be a Royal Signals variant. Perhaps there will be masts in the kit which are typically fitted to the hull sides.

I seen Charlie Pritchett post a picture on his FB page, of a HEMTT fueler. I mentioned something about it and he said not to look too far into it, but he gave the "wink" emoji. So.. If you'd like to look into it.. Perhaps that could be in the works?

Will they make a Saladin too in order to fully make us Cold War British Armor fans' dreams come true?

Are there any further news or photos of kits from Telford?

All I've seen so far is this one, and a pic showing two aircraft kits.

Hisham

They are branching out into aircraft kits now?

No, the aircraft kits are by another company.

Hisham

Ok, thanks for clarifying.

What's the the right of the APC, there's more......

Don't be teasing like this!
Omg! Finally!

NOO, you need the FV432 as a support vehicle, then the rest will come if the initial release sell well!

FV433 Field Artillery, Self-Propelled "Abbot" - 105 mm self propelled gun built by Vickers
FV434 "Carrier, Maintenance, Full Tracked" - REME Maintenance carrier with a crew of four and a hydraulically driven crane with a lifting capacity of 3,050 kg
FV435 Wavell communications vehicle
FV436 Command and control - some fitted with Green Archer radar, later Cymbeline radar
FV437 Pathfinder vehicle - based on an FV432 with integral buoyancy and other waterjets - prototyped only
FV438 Swingfire - Guided missile launcher
FV439 Signals vehicle - Many variants
FV430 Mk3 Bulldog - Upgraded troop carrier that began serving in Iraq in August 2007

hop takom will release Abbot SPG

I pray that Takom provides it with link-by-link tracks and that these become available separately so that I can switch out the resin tracks on the AA-kits. Or maybe aftermarket tracks by someone else.

Good news in any case

I think it's GREAT that more modern British AFVs are finally being released in plastic!
