Supacat HMT400 Jackal (A05301) £15.99
Designed and developed by Supacat at their facility in Devon, England, the Jackal or MWMIK (Mobility Weapon-Mounted Installation Kit) is a wheeled, armoured vehicle used by the British Army.

In all of these roles, good mobility and visibility are paramount and it is in these areas that the Jackal excels. The Jackal has seen extensive use in Afghanistan where it has proved to be a very useful machine, becoming much loved by its crews.
