Bv 206S on the way

¹⁄35

Thursday, March 22, 2018 - 01:37 AM UTC

Takom announced their new model kit... a pretty peculiar subject, but also a very pleasant surprise for many.

Takom just shared box art photo of their upcoming 1/35 scale kit depicting Bv 206S. Bandvagn 206 (Bv 206) is a tracked articulated, all-terrain carrier developed by Hägglunds (now part of BAE Systems Global Combat Systems) for the Swedish Army. It consists of two units, with all four tracks powered. It can carry up to 17 people (6 in the front compartment, 11 in the rear), and the trailer unit can be adapted for different uses (see Variants section).

The box art claims the kit includes full interior. Definitely a very interesting release from Takom.

No, they don't use BV206S. They use BV206D a.k.a. M973 SUSV. Very different vehicle.

Yes they have that kit, i have it too, the resin parts ok, white metal no, tracks= photo etched [auto-censored], impossible to make.. So my opinion... For god sake, dont buy it as you will be so dissapointed and angry when you will make the tracks.. Try to remember how many of that kit you have seen.. I have had it for over 10 years.. Seen 1 completed build kit on internet....

Yes. You have to change basically everything. US military don't use BV206S, but BV206D based M973 SUSV. It is just a completely different vehicle.
