Spanish VCR-105 1/35 Centauro-derived AFV Model - Trumpeter 00388  [TP00388]

Trumpeter 00388 VCR-105 1/35 - Centauro-derived Spanish 8x8 vehicle model

This plastic assembly kit in 1/35 scale recreates the Spanish VCR-105, a Centauro-derived 8x8 armoured fighting vehicle, and is aimed at enthusiasts who build display models with accurate external detail.

The VCR-105 entered Spanish service after an initial procurement of 22 vehicles for the Lusitania 8 Cavalry Regiment followed by an order for 62 units in 2002. Spanish examples show later-production and locally applied modifications such as a stretched hull, bolted frontal add-on armour, basket storage on the turret rear, altered external fittings, repositioned smoke launchers, and radio equipment with fitted aerials. These changes reflect Spanish operational adaptation rather than a new base design.

The kit reproduces those Spanish external features, including the referenced turret and hull modifications. Assembly follows standard modelling procedures and will produce a presentable exterior and stowage layout suitable for display or diorama use. Decals for Spanish Army markings are included and the parts list covers hull, turret and running gear as per the manufacturer information.

A precise external representation focused on Spanish-specific fittings, suitable for modellers seeking historically accurate external appearance and display quality.
