FV103 Spartan (UK)

The Armoured personnel carrier version of the CVRT (Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance Tracked) family of armoured fighting vehicle, the FV103 Spartan has a crew of three and can carry four others men in the rear compartment. Used to carry small specialised groups, such as engineer reconnaissance teams, air defense sections or mortar fire controllers, 691 Spartans were produced for the British Army from the beginning of the 70s to 1986.

The resin kit is from S&S Models. As always a little bit spartiate, but with some work and modifications to represent here an air defense section, it does the work pretty well (figures from RH Models). (made 2015)
