A recent release from Ace Model builds this 6-wheeled armored personnel carrier in 1/72 scale.
The FV603 Saracen is a six-wheeled armoured personnel carrier built by Alvis and used by the British Army. It became a recognisable vehicle as a result of its part in the policing of Northern Ireland as well as for its role in enforcing apartheid in South Africa. Besides the driver and commander, a squad of eight soldiers plus a troop commander could be carried. Most models carried a small turret on the roof, carrying a Browning .30 machine gun. A .303 Bren gun could be mounted on an anti-aircraft ring-mount accessed through a roof hatch and there were ports on the sides through which troops could fire. The Saracen was used as an armoured personnel carrier, armoured command vehicle and ambulance.

FV-603B Saracen Mk.II (72433) is offered as an injection-molded kit that comes with a decal sheet and rubber tires.

What a neat-looking little kit. Does anyone offer a credible kit of this in 1/35?
