The FV521AS Warrior 90mm Recce/Fire Support Vehicle is an Australian development of the British FV500 Warrior MICV family of vehicles utilising the 90mm Cockerill-gunned Cadillac-Gage turret of the LAV-150 series of vehicles.

Photo's would have been forthcoming tonight but, for some inexplicable reason, my camera battery was dead when I went to take the pic's. ???

Maybe, if I get time between "Honey-do's" & work, tomorrow.

Really looking forward to this one as a Commonwealth companion to my Bradley FSV.  :)

Looking good Guy, the turret and gun do not look out of place on the Warrior hull.  A winner for sure!

I'll second that! Even at this early stage it's looking spot on.  :)

Excellent! The turret looks great with the extra armor/thickening.

Thanks, gent's! :)

Turret needs some rivets, a partial mantlet cover, the camera periscope (above the gun) to be completed & the final kit parts around the hatches, & that will be done.

The hull is going to be stock-standard Warrior from here.

Someone on WIM suggested that the turret looked like an elephant's head, I tend to agree &, for a moment, I considered giving the vehicle a pachyderm related name but have since decided otherwise.

Soldiers, on the other hand, might not be so generous. ;)

Looking good.  Might try something similar with a 60mm HVMS as per M113 fit.

I'm really impressed with what you've done on the turret!

It looks every bit the business!

Guy,  if they think it looks like an elephant then the ideal name could be ***"Old Tusker" or "Tusker" :).

'Tusker' is certainly better than 'Dumbo' which first sprung to mind... ;D

...but perhaps 'Mammoth' might be an equally good name...

Very believable looking. The turret shape looks like it was made to go on the Warrior hull. Looking forward to seeing this one completed.

Definitely would look good next to Claymore's Bradley FSV!

"Mastodon" could also be an option...though the possible "in-field modifications" to that name may be undesirable.

Back at the bench (dining table) for the 1st time since a few days before Christmas with this build.

Mostly smaller bits to add on before the primer coat goes on, then I'll have to think about a camo scheme.

Not much progress, I'm having trouble getting time to set up my paint table & airbrush in the garage (People keep insisting on parking their cars in it!) but I've done this with the ol' rattle can tamiya grey primer;



Really, really hope to get more done soon! :icon_alabanza:

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics' Motor Vehicle Census, there were 18.4 million registered motor vehicles on your continent as of 31 Jan 2016. AFAIK, yours is only 1/35 FV521AS Warrior 90mm Recce/Fire Support Vehicle on the workbench at present.

Sorry folks, you're going to have to park yer 'bourgemobiles' on the verge! Whiffers demand it  >:(

Got some leave coming up in a couple of weeks, worst case, & I'll have the time & space for a few days before SWMBO starts her leave. :)
