FV721 Fox Armoured Car from S&S Models


I absolutely love the new FV721 Fox armoured car (Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Wheeled)) from Shaun at S&S Models and added a pair to my Winter of '79 vehicle park. These I intend to fully cam up in netting and scrim.

A tasty little model from S&S that captures the character of the real thing. The Fox represents a nice balance of armour, mobility and firepower on the tabletop without dominating it and a good match for Scorpions and Scimitars.

Thoroughly recommended.

Cheers
Mark

  4. Hi Mark, is it just me or does the lower hull look a little chunky?

    Good score.

  5. Hi Paul

    It's the photo. Maff bought a Fox after me, that's 3 between us and I'm getting 2 more. That should say something.

  8. Armour is a protective covering being used today to prevent damage or being hurt. When we talk about armour we may think about Kevlar body armour, a hockey helmet, cricket knee pads, padded fencing clothing or even the heavy steel plates. Throughout history body armour has been separated into groupings, Lamellar, Plate and Mail.
