Hi All,
I've just got this kit and planning to finish as Turkish Army version which are take part in anti terror operations in Syria,

This is a quite nice kit, nice details, photo-etched parts and vinyl tracks, I'll replace them with AFV Club workable M113A1G tracks.

Here we go !

It is quite different vehicle, so a lot of converting and scratchbuilding is ahead of you... Good luck!

Thank you Pawel, almost every part for Turkish version is coming along with kit, only some points needs to modification. I will share assembling step soon.
Cheers !

Really? The turret looks completely different in your photos. I didn't know the kit included parts for Turkish turret.

Two types of 25mm turrets in service of Turkish Army on ACV-15 vehicles, the Dragar turret (in the photos that I posted) and DAF turret (on the box). The kit is coming along with DAF turret and I'll use that. I shared this photos for camouflage scheme that I planning to apply, didn't noticed the turret.

More progress on my ACV-15
The clamps are added on both side and back side of the turret. I used staples for them and Turkish type commander's sight is handmade. I used some reference photos for them. Now we're ready for paint.
I've changed my Idea, planning to paint as desert camouflage which as ACV-15s in Operation Olive Branch.

Nice.
What colors will you be using?
Dan

Thank you Dan,
There aren't any standart color. So, I'll use a mixture of dark yellow, orange mixture for main color and NATO colors for green and black.

great start on your build ,what did you use for the anti slip parts on the build . nice work .

Thank you Roy,
Kit has already had antislip surface but it looked not enough to me,I used thin sandpaper for it. I'ts very cheap and useful technique.

thanks for your repy ,that is a great idea .

You're welcome Roy.

Great built Efe. You may have this one but it can be useful for others who thinks to build an ACV-15.

Thank you sir,
I already got this and it has very useful reference photos for my work, I loved your AAPC project which is on FNSS production line, too much scratchbuilt parts and lovely details.
One of the best production line diorama I've ever seen.
Cheers..

Hi guys,
I've applied and shaded main color with handbrush, now I'm ready for paint camouflage colors.

Main color is on, weathering is ongoing..

I think that you nailed the colors.
Dan

Thanks Dan,
That was really hard with handbrush

Fantastic work Efe!

You nailed the camouflage, I love it!

With kind regards,

Jasper

Thank you so much Jasper, I'm so glad to hear that,
Tracks are in progress now.
Cheers..

I beg you pardon but Pawel was right about the turret ; youare using the standard YPR turret and on the pics of the turquish one ( I guess you are replicating ) it is a Dragar french turret totally different
This turret is an evolution of the VBCI turret seen in afganistan ; am just doing the master starting with an Heller VBCI kit and modifying the left side to hold the moving part seen on the pics

Hi Michel,
I'm building this kit as Standart DAF turret.
I know Heller's VBCL kit is coming along with a variants of Dragar turret but this is not the same version of Turkish one, this one needs a lot of scratchbuilding too.
There are not any correct aftermarket set on market for Dragar turret of Turkish ACV's right now.

At least I'm finished,
