I wonder if the Turkish Army ACV-15 APC could be converted from Academy`s K-200. The hull construction seems similar. Of course it will need some new tracks.

Unless I'm mistaken, the ACV 15 is a licence-built AIFV/YPR 765 as used by the Belgians and Dutch (amongst others). AFV Club offer kits of both.

I tried K200 to convert to Turkish Army ACV-15 version but failed. The K200 is totally useless for ACV-15, there are many differences betveen both vehicle and K200 needs too many (Almost impossible) imptovements. I'm building AFV Club's NATO Aifv kit right now and that is the rightest kit on the market for ACV-15.

There is a group on FB which named by Turkish Army. It have almost every type of photos about land vehicles. I'm using that as reference.
