Gecko Models 1/35 British FV103 CVR(T) Spartan APC w/ Odin Turret TES(H) is a plastic kit of the British armoured personnel carrier from Operation Herrick in Afghanistan. Paints and glue required for assembly are not included.
The FV103 Spartan is the armoured personnel carrier of the CVR(T) family of tracked vehicles designed by Alvis for the British Army. It entered service in 1978 and, rather than general infantry, mainly carried specialist teams such as air-defence or reconnaissance teams. The CVR(T) family served the British Army for decades and its vehicles also saw service in Afghanistan.
The Gecko Models kit in 1/35 scale depicts the Spartan with the Odin turret in TES(H) standard, as deployed on the British Operation Herrick in Afghanistan. According to the manufacturer it includes photo-etched parts and decals, and one vehicle can be built. The box art shows the carrier in desert colours, surrounded by bar armour and with a weapon on the turret.
In 1/35 scale the compact vehicle suits a display cabinet as well as a diorama with Afghan terrain, where dust, pale sand tones and weathering come into their own. Paints and glue required for assembly are not included.
