Title: British FV432M in 1/48 or 1/50 scale
Post by: Lord Raglan on June 23, 2019, 10:54:15 PM: Evening Gents

Does anyone do the hubble 432 APC in either 1/48 or 1/50 scale?

I know Butler Models do a 3D printed model, but ideally I would like one in resin.

I thought that might be the case, any plastic kits in 1/48?

Post by: Paul @ Empress Miniatures on June 24, 2019, 11:27:24 AM: Just getting stock if from HLBSC of this so it will also be in our shop if that makes life easy.

Post by: Lord Raglan on June 24, 2019, 05:33:30 PM: Just ordered 4 of them, so painting these models will take me back to the mid 1980s when I was based in Germany and participating in multi national exercises such as Globe Trotter.

Despite always preferring heli lifts to the bumpy old ride in a 432, it was always better than no transport at all, particularly given that I was usually lugging a GPMG and a bergan full of 7.62 ammo :(

Post by: FinnN on June 24, 2019, 09:44:44 PM: I've been eyeing these for a while as they creep slowly up my "to-buy" list - they look fantastic in the photos, but a proper review would be great.

Of course what would be even better would be a Mastiff or a Wolfhound - especially with some mine clearing equipment!

A Mastiff would be cool, but the 432 gets me based on the nostalgia vote

Post by: carlos marighela on June 24, 2019, 10:25:30 PM: Excellent find, didn’t realise HLBS were still making vehicles! Wonder if they will do one with the Peak turret?

Post by: Lord Raglan on June 26, 2019, 10:01:23 PM: My 432s are cast and ready to roll :D

I also ordered a British infantry platoon from the boys at Gripping Beast.

Cool.

Watching a number of them in action (though for those Texas Cheerleaders ^__^).
