Has anyone seen the 1/35 M1283 AMPV by FORGE of France?
No one? Interesting.
All right then. I’d say if you’re interested in this, save your money. Not only are many details off, it’s based on an A3 hull. All production versions are based on an A4 hull, with an upgraded engine as well.
If you want to do a modern vehicle in 3D however, the ACV someone posted recently looks almost spot on. Having measured and photographed it myself at Camp Pendleton (as I did with the AMPVs at Fort Moore) I can tell you it looks very good. detail wise. No way to tell about the measurements without the actual kit. But as they are available online, I’m sure Armando used them. Price is €90 plus postage.
The best thing about that 3D printed 1/35 USMC ACV is that it looks straight. Sometimes, the 3D printed gun has a drooping barrel, or some of the 3D lines are a bit off or not well defined. But this one looks sharp and as crisp as plastic. The 3D tires look fantastic.
Yeah, they’re on EvilBay now. Not getting one as my credit card is smoking and I’ll await styrene anyway. But it’s a neat looking track and I hope we get all the variants eventually.
I’ve done the research on all of them, as i mentioned last month, Now we’ll see who’s serious about bringing them to us.
