[About the actual vehicle]
--The amphibious assault vehicle operated by the US Marine Corps is the AAV7A1.
--Initially, it was formalized under the name of LVTP-7, and changed to AAVP-7 from 1985.
――LVTP-7A1 is also called AAVP-7A1.
--The amphibious personnel carrier LVTP-7, which began development in the latter half of the 1960s as a successor to the LVTP-5 used in the Vietnam War, was formalized in 1970 and has been in operation since 1972. It was started.
-The aluminum alloy body is amphibious, the swivel turret is equipped with a 12.7mm machine gun, and the troop room is capable of accommodating 25 fully armed soldiers.
――After that, the LVTP-7A1 / AAVP-7A1 was refurbished with the aim of improving the performance of the LVTP-7 / AAVP-7.
--The engine has been replaced with a Cummins 4-stroke V8 liquid-cooled turbocharged diesel engine, and the capacity has been improved by increasing the size of the cupola.
――In 1993, EAAK, an extended appliqué armor that can be equipped by bolt-on, was also developed and the armor was strengthened.
[About the model]
-The model is an assembled model that reproduces the amphibious assault vehicle AAVP-7A1 that the US Marine Corps has been operating since 1977 on a 1/72 scale.
――We are modeling a type equipped with EAAK, an extended appliqué armor that strengthens armor.
――The characteristic style is expressed in detail in the atmosphere, including the shape of the car body, the shape of the turret, and each hatch.
――The body is painted with stains on the undercarriage and the surface of the body, giving it a 1/72 mini-scale finish that gives a sense of reality and weight.
-Of course, the EAAK and appliqué armor attached around the car body are also accurately reproduced.
――In addition, a display case to store the model is also set, making it a convenient model to collect.
--The coloring is desert yellow. It represents a vehicle equipped by the US Marine Corps deployed in the Middle East.
