Hi to all out there
To start with I ofer my apologies to all if I've put thsi in the wrong area.
Anyway, I'm trying to fond any info that will lead to a purcahse of an AFV 432 MkII if they exist? My reason for this is that my father drove this vehicle for most of hi 12 year career as a signaller in the Prince of Wales Own Regiment of Yorkshire, and I would like to build a dio with a signalling theme.

Many thanks in advance.

Andrew,

For general information the best place to start could well be the 'The FV432 Armoured Personnel Carrier Home Page'
http://www.fv432.com/index.htm

Models of modern British stuff are thin on the ground at the best of times and you are unlikely to find any signals versions. The only ones I know about in 1/35th are the resin ones from Accurate Armour, somewhat out of most peoples reach at around £70.

Cromwell Models have a couple of the basic APC versions in 1/76th. One is in their Full Kits Range (CM21 £13.75) and the other is in their Combat Ready Range (CR2003 £8.50)

Hope this is of some help.
