Just a few comments about your list:

-The Faun SLT-56 does not have the correct trailer version as the ones deployed with the UN German Forces to Somalia...it should have the shorter trailer.

-The basic LAV 25 has never been used in a UN mission....the markings are incorrect in the Trumpeter kit and were likely copied from markings used on a UN Canadian Coyote deployed to Eritrea, Africa.

-The KIFV K-200 was used with UNPROFOR in Bosnia but they were used by the Malaysians and not the South Koreans.

-The BTR-80 was also used with UNPROFOR in Bosnia by the Turkish and Pakistani forces.

-Hobby Fan makes a kit of the Canadian Cougar 6x6 which was used in Bosnia with UNPROFOR...it was also painted white and used in Somalia but the mission changed and although they were painted white they did not have UN markings.

-Both the Weisel Mk.20 and the TOW versions were used by the German UN forces in Somalia.

-The MAN 8x8 was also used by the Germans in Somalia.

-ADV/Azimut makes a kit of the French VBL....used by French UNPROFOR troops in Bosnia.

First of all:
Great list and good initiative.

The Russians have also used the BTR-80 in both UN, SFOR or IFOR forces. Bangladesh have used the BTR-80 for UN duties in Africa. Cannot remember the country now

You could add Zvezdas BTR-80 to your list of kits that could be used for UN duties/forces.

Hi Antony
There are also the Academy LVTP-7 and M113, the Crielmodel VCC1(all with S.Marco marines markings during the 1982 Lebanon mission) and the Model Victoria B-1 Centauro (long version) in Lebanon now.

After your Warrior, I can't wait to see what you come up with

There are some more photos of the Danish Leopard HERE though labelled an A5, it has a modified A3/A4 welded turret fitted with a new gunner's sight hood and other bits and pieces. Italeri's A4 is the best in plastic and it looks like you'll need bits from Revell's A5 (which is a modified Italeri mould)

The Revell-Germany Leopard 1A5 is not the correct kit for the Danish Leopard 1A5DK...closest would be the Tamiya Leopard 1A4 with the Accurate Armour conversion set.

Oh ya, also the Tamiya Leclerc...as used by the French with UNIFIL in Lebanon at the present time.

Hi Antony

Denmark's Leopard 1A5s aren't like the cast turret German one modelled by Revell. The 1A5DK is based on the welded turret 1A3 with a new fire control system.

Leopard 1A5DK

As Jason (LeoCdr) says you'll have to start with a 1A4 and get the Accurate Armour conversion or scratchbuild the 1A5DK features. If the Italeri 1A4 can't be found you can start with the Tamiya 1A4 TAM35112



Conversion set

Hey Gaetano,

The Italian Centauro is in Lebanon with UNIFIL?

Anyone have any images?

I heard the Pozzuolo del Friuli Cavalry Brigade was being sent over but I didn't know it was already there. They have the Centauro and also have the Ariete and Dardo...are they going to Lebanon too?

So far I have only seen images of 4x4 light armoured cars, AAVs, and the VCC-1s.

Hi Jason, this is for you

http://www.modellismopiu.it/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=15279&forum=4

There are only two white Centauro ( one Serie 2 and one Serie 3) in Lebanon at this time togheter with some Dardo ( few also in white) from a Bersaglieri Regiment. MBT Ariete isn't deployed in the zone yet.

Dont know if this counts but Accurate Armour do a UK, Combat Engineers Tractor (CET) which comes with UN markings.

Ive only ever seen one sprayed white though, by the time i was deployed to Bos even though we were still flying UN markings, most engineer units had stopped having their vehicles sprayed white.

Thanx David, I upgrade the list now.

One more sweet armor, M60A something, if anyone can recognize this type then I put them in list. I think its ease with M60A3 Tamiya, Revel, Italeri.



Same ware I found this map but I don’t remember, I think is helpful

OOOPS I've forgotten about their ERC 90 Sagaie (used by the FORPRONU in Bosnia) kit :
Olivier Carneau's model :

and their AML 60 and AML 90 (used by several countries) :


Terre Modeles/WSW has released a AMX 10 P kit that should fit the bill too.
