FV514 Warrior OPV + MSTAR
This extensive 1/35th scale resin & etched brass conversion kit by Tim Babb corrects and updates the Academy Warrior IFV to produce a replica of the Royal Artillery Observation Post Vehicle (OPV). This vehicle is issued to each firing battery of AS90 155mm guns (see our update A060) and is deployed as the ‘eyes and ears’ of the battery. The vehicle also mounts the MSTAR Radar for detecting ground targets.
The conversion includes new hull rear with detailed double doors, multiple aerial mountings, radar mast and bins, aux generator deck, and new upper deck hatches. Replacement nose armour with optional front towing point, mantlet, drivers hatch and other replacement parts are included along with optional late or early fire extinguishers, and a stowage set. Also included is an extensive etched brass fret with all deck mesh screens, turret basket mesh, mudflaps, exhaust shroud, front stowage bin, main hull basket mesh and many handles and D10 reel parts.
This product is a Conversion set and a donor plastic kit is needed to make the vehicle shown in the images. Of the two Warrior kits on the market get the cheapest one, the extra bits in the later kit are not worth the extra spend.
