Academy 13292 K200A1 KIFV in 1:35 scale is a unique plastic model kit of the South Korean K200A1 KIFV (Korea Infantry Fighting Vehicle). This model is a faithfully reproduced miniature of the vehicle, which has remained the primary combat transporter of the Republic of Korea Army from the 1980s to the present day.
The original K200A1 entered service in 1985, intended to address the need for a modern armored personnel carrier and infantry fighting vehicle for the South Korean armed forces. Designed by Daewoo, the vehicle was primarily used in South Korea, but also found service with the Philippine Army. It participated in various exercises, peacekeeping operations, and internal operations in the East Asian region.
The Academy 13292 model is made of high-quality plastic, ensuring ease of processing and assembly. The kit includes detailed parts that allow for faithful reproduction of the vehicle's distinctive features: a turret armed with a machine gun, a detailed suspension, a drive system, and realistic armor textures. The model does not contain resin or photo-etched parts, but it offers very high-quality plastic detail. The components require the use of separately available glue and modeling paints.
This product falls into the "plastic model kit" category and is aimed at both intermediate and advanced modelers. It's an excellent choice for enthusiasts of modern military technology and those interested in conflicts and equipment from the Korean Peninsula region. The 1:35 scale ensures a high level of detail, and detailed assembly instructions support the construction process.
