After thinning the stash, I've realised I've got an Artec Boxer kit staring back at me. Any recommendations for the best references? Online, print, whatever.

Thanks.

There are good walkarounds of various Boxer versions here...

Tankograd has a good book on the GTK Boxer.
Lots of GTK photos here.

Thank you, gentlemen!

Lance turreted truck references seem to be thin on the ground!

You can see some in my site too. In the Real Ones section, go to Shows then Eurosatory 2010.
But if you are looking for pictures of the version currently trialed in Australia, mine are not the best choice. The turret is not exactly the same. For example, the gun barrel has not the large squarish protection around it.

Hi!
If you are interested in the Boxer GTK with Lance turret, then there exists a resin conversion here:

http://nahm-modellbau.de.tl/Umbaus.ae.tze.htm

However, this is not a professional casting company, it is more or less good home made quality, so you must be prepared to do some work on the parts when you decide to work on that conversion.

I have not seen it myself, can only judge by the pictures.

I heard of only one show were the Boxer/Lance combo was shown to the general public. Otherwise it could only be seen at Defense Expositions. So you maybe have the best chances when the ADF finally field this vehícle. BTW has the vehicle a name except Land 400?

The vehicle was on display at Land Forces last year: I only got a few pics as I was working.

Land 400 is the project, Phase 2 is soliciting for a "Combat Reconnaissance Vehicle" (8x8, two vehicles left in the race), with Phase 3 looking for an IFV.

Rheinmetall's bid is referred to as the Boxer CRV (https://boxercrv.com.au).

Who knows which truck will win Phase 2? It'll be either Boxer CRV or AMV35.

Thanks Andreas - tried to email those guys last year, no joy.

I'm mid way through scratch building one for myself, but need a bit more help. Then there's Revell's hull - hopefully it goes together okay?

Hi Greg,

You should try again. I got my Lance conversion kit from them by the end of november 2017.

Send an email to [email protected]

Good feedback from him.

The conversion kit might be a little tough and rough, but it can do the trick with a little work.

My little "/review" here : https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/263585&page=1
