The AIFV (Armored Infantry Combat Vehicle), also known to the Dutch Army as YRP-765, was originally developed as the successor to the world best-selling M113 APC, in late 1970's. It has a 25mm cannon in the small turret, and improved armor. As far as combat capability, the AIFV is inferior to the more modern powerful ICVs (Infantry Combat Vehicle) which are equipped with larger cannon and Anti-tank missiles, like the M2A2 Bradley and the BMP-3. But its reasonable procurement cost is very attractive to the Armies of small countries. Features AFV Club offers this interim AFV design in a high quality kit.  The kit is thoroughly detailed and parts are molded very sharply.  A photo-etchd set for engine grilles and fuel can racks are included, too.  Tracks (rubber belt type), drive sprocket and idler wheels are US standard.  Decals are for Armies of Belgium, Turkey (UN Roll) and the Philippines (thus the kit is named NATO IFV).

A big set of Howitzer rounds and stowage cases from AVF Club. Set includes 155mm M107 Howitzer rounds, 155mm Stowage Case-Charge M4A2, 203mm M106 Howitzer rounds, and 203mm Stowage Case-Charge M2. Includes 32 plastic 155mm and 24 plastic 203mm rounds, plus eight brass 155mm and six brass 203mm rounds. Decals are included for various round and case markings.

The development of a second tranche of FSVs began in 1972, when a requirement for further such AFVs was issued. It was decided that the new AFV would use the turret of a FV101 Scorpion fitted to the chassis of a M113A1 APC. This turret was armed with a 76 mm L23A1 gun. Buoyancy aids were also installed on the sides and front of the hull so that the vehicles remained amphibious. The prototype vehicles began to be constructed by the Ordnance Factory in Maribyrnong, Victoria, during 1974; three were completed in mid-1975. The design was approved for production in 1978, and another 45 FSVs were eventually completed by converting newly acquired M113A1s. The type was later designated the Medium Reconnaissance Vehicle (MRV). Features AFV Club's 1/35-scale model kit of the Australian Army M113A1 MRV (Medium Reconnaissance Vehicle) comes with a new barrel and mantlet Periscopes for the tank commander and loader.  Three types of coaxial guns are included, as are photo-etched parts and new decals. 

This is a set of injection-plastic accessories for detailing AFV kits.
