Me not being too familiar with FV 432 family. What else can be done with the Mk.2/1? APC and Ambulance? I don´t want to stick on AA conversions. I had once the bold plan to convert the 432 into a 434.

I’m not a Ninja when it comes to the series; however, in addition to the AA conversions, have a look at Michael Shackleton’s efforts, somewhere within:
SMM | scorpion-models (scorpion-miniature-models.co.uk)
which will enable you to ring a few changes; in the scheme of things very reasonably priced too I think.

Some potential conversion. FV432 converted in to firing paintball rounds.

They have all sorts of conversion of these in the UK- I’ve seen a limo version and a hearse that had clear bits around the rear. I’m pretty sure they’ve been used as the basis for tracked things in films and TV too.

This is a “Bradley” film prop made from an FV-432. Note the right side driver’s hatch (actual Bradley has the driver on left side).

I’d love to do one in UNPROFOR white!

Slight mistake on the side of the box for the Takom FV432, The Royal Scots were under Hammerbeck in 4th Armoured Brigade, (The Black Rats) not as the box suggested under Brigadier Cordingly in 7th Armoured Brigade, (the Desert Rats). A small mistake but it’s irritating to me as I was attached to the Royal Scots during the 1991 Gulf War . I wonder how many more kit artworks have been badly researched and I should take with a pinch of salt, sussed you out Takom.

That is a big missed opportunity. If it’s for a film, they would have done better to mirror the turret and then just horizontally flip the picture any time the vehicle is on-screen. Or build a fake driver’s hatch on the left and disguise the real driver’s position behind some stuff on the right.

You could always do the StuG III from it.
