The FV432 is the armoured personnel carrier variant of the British Army's FV430 series of armoured fighting vehicles. It was introduced in the 1960s and has been used for transporting infantry on the battlefield. The need for armoured vehicles in the Afghan and Iraqi threatres of war meant that the Ministry of Defence announced an extra 70 vehicles would be upgraded by BAE Systems. The improvements take the form of an engine upgrade, a new steering unit and a new braking system, as well as improvement in armour protection to a level similar to that of the Warrior. In addition, plates lined with Kevlar have been added to the bottom hull. This is intended to provide better protection against improvised explosive devices.
Starter Paint Pack Includes:
9 x 17ml Vallejo model paints. Vallejo paints are supplied in plastic bottles of 17ml with an eyedropper device which keeps paint from drying and prevents spills. The model color range has been specifically developed for adherence on difficult surfaces such as metal and plastic, but the product is not toxic, not flammable, and does not give off noxious fumes. Please note our starter paint packs are only our recommend starter colours and may not match exactly with the kits instructions.
