Scorpion Miniature Models released several conversion sets to backdate Takom's FV432 into Mk.1 variant. Check them out!
These are conversion sets to backdate the Takom FV432 M.2/1 kit into a Mk.1.
FV432 Mk.1 (petrol-engined Rolls-Royce B81) entered service with the British Army in 1963, followed by the Mk.2 (diesel-engined Rolls-Royce K60) in 1965. They have both been used by most arms of the British Army in numerous variants. Both versions served alongside each other until about 1994 when the Mk.1 was withdrawn from service. 600 were built.
SMM3532 - FV432 Mk.1 Exterior Set
The biggest changes to backdate the Takom Mk.2 to the Mk.1 exerior are different engine covers and the exhaust system on the roof. The NBC unit on the right side is also very different (inside and out), as are jettisonable fuel tanks on the rear. This set is intended for use with a series of others to build into a complete FV432 Mk.1.
SMM3533 - FV432 Mk.1 Interior Set
The biggest changes to backdate the Takom Mk.2 to the Mk.1 interior are different interior engine covers and the use of Larspur radios instead of Clansman supplied in the kit. A second Larkspur set is carried in the crew compartment. The NBC unit on the right side is also very different (inside and out).
SMM3534 - FV432 Mk.1 Flotation Set
The flotation equipment was an important part of the original British Army requirement in the 1960s. Many vehicles were equipped with similar systems such as CVR(T), etc. It was even carried over to the FV432 Mk.2 in the early days.
SMM3535 - FV432 Mk.2 NBC Unit
This is a conversion intended for the Takom FV432 M.2/1 kit – replacing the NBC unit and right hull side to make an FV432 Mk.2.
In its original production form, the FV432 Mk.2 was equipped with the same NBC unit as the FV432 Mk.1.
The set Newincludes the much boxier NBC with its brush guard and a redesigned hull side. The interior ducting is also incuded as well as two spare track links stowed on top of the NBC unit.
