This is the second of this week's MRAP ATVs in 1/35th scale and in Styrene. This time from the Chinese company Kinetic
It's really very interesting as Kinetic Models are, with these release going to be entering the Armor business. The New model is:
61007 - MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV)
From Stevens International come the following details:
The M-ATV is a high-mobility, high-protection medium tactical vehicle specifically engineered fortreacherous environments. It is a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected(MRAP) vehicle that incorporates an independent suspension systemto provide durable mobility. The MRAP was designed in response tothe destruction of vehicles/crew in Iraq&Afghanistan by land mines.It was first deployed in Afghanistan in 2009. The armor configurationprovides survivable crew protection from land mines based on the V-shaped design of the under frame. In addition, the centrally inflated“run-flat’ tires allow the M-ATV to travel at least 30 miles at 30mpheven if two tires lose pressure. Kit features complete interior detail, roof mounted turret with M-240 machine gun (which can be operatedfrom the turret itself or remotely from the cabin), 5 rubber tires,photo-etched grills and incredible exterior details.
Expected release date will be November 2011 although, shortly we'll be adding more images to the story - directly from the manufacturer.
Our thanks to Stevens International for the 'taster'!
