Title: FV432s now available!
Post by: Leon on 18 October 2023, 10:32:48 PM
We'd planned to have these ready for release last month but they're here now, all 17 variants!  The FV432 is one of the most common AFVs used by the British army since its introduction in the 1960s.  The later Mk 3 variant is still in use today, most notably in Ukraine.

We've got several variants in both Mk 1 and Mk 2 options, including regular APC, mortar carrier, Wombat (recoilless rifle), command, engineer, Ranger (mine layer) and with the Peak turret.  We've also done the FV433 Abbot (105mm SPG), FV438 (Swingfire) and the FV436 (Radar), so more than enough to pack out your British army!

They are all looking great Leon - that is a significant release - well done  :)

You could probably get away with just a conversion kit to allow customers to make up the FV432-30 with the 30mm Rarden armed turrets from the Fox Armoured Car. Although having the Fox AC as well, would be nice.

Cheers

Would the Mk1 or Mk2 be suitable for a 1978/79 scenario?

I'm not sure when the Mk 2 entered production exactly but it was well before those dates so they'd both be available in '78-'79. There's only minor differences to them externally, most noticeable is that the Mk 2 has the exhaust pipe coming up at the rear left of the vehicle.
