ACRV
1V14
Ref :
Panzershop PS35C109HT
The ACRV is an artillery vehicle derived from a MTLBu chassis, being itself a derivative of the MTLB. Many versions are in service within the OP's and CP's at battery, battalion and regiment level. The 1V14 is the battery commander vehicle. It is both a FIST and a battery command post vehicle.
The kit is from Panzershop.
It comprises the resin hull, a Friul 12.7mm DshK MG, a track set
from the same manufacturer, some photoetched parts, two
Modelpoint antenna mounts and a decals sheet for the Czech army.
The carving and the detail level are good. The building is easy
thanks to a clear instruction leaflet. The only problem concerns
the turret which is unfortunately wrong. The Modelpoint CD-ROM
perfectly shows the mistake made by the manufacturer and enables
us to correct it with patience. While looking at the CR-ROM pics,
we understand that there has been a confusion between the many
versions of the vehicle. Thus, the turret in the kit is a mix of
the various existing ones.
