Bronco CB35145 1/35 Buffalo 6x6 MPCV with Slat Armour & Spaced Armour

Discontinued

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

The Buffalo is built by Force Protection Inc as a Class III Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) armoured vehicle. It was based on the highly successful South African Casspir, but is larger and uses US 6x6 drive truck components. It features a ?V? shaped hull to deflect mine blast of up to 21kg of high explosive under any wheel. It also has an armoured body resistant to 7.62 NATO small arms ammunition. The Buffalo is intended for route clearance and has an articulated arm used to check the ground for mines and IED?s. A video camera weapon station is also provided so the crew do not have to leave the vehicle to fire their weapons. Over 200 are used by the US Army, more used by the UK, France and Canada. The latest vehicles are fitted with BAe Systems Slat Armour to protect against rocket propelled grenades (RPG). The slats effectively break up the warhead before it hit?s the vehicle. Others have a combination of Slat Armour and FPI developed Spaced Armour
