BvS 10 Viking is a fully-amphibious armoured all-terrain vehicle consisting of two tracked vehicle units linked by a steering mechanism. The UK Ministry of Defence ordered 108 Vikings from BAE Systems, Land Systems Hagglunds (formerly Alvis Hagglunds), in three variants of troop carrier (TCV), command vehicle (CV) and repair recovery vehicle (RCV). The BvS10 vehicle was developed based on the operationally proven capability of the Swedish Hagglunds Bv206 and Bv206S vehicles. More than 11,000 vehicles are in service in 40 countries. The Viking, fitted with a more powerful engine, is larger and faster than the Bv206S and has greater load capacity. On 18 December 2009, the French Armed Forces placed an initial order for 53 BvS 10 Vikings, with the total order for 129 of the vehicles.
Designed as an armored all terrain vehicle, the BvS 10 first entered service in 2005. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.

Why Resin?
It's very expensive to produce die-casting molds, and manufacturers must sell a large number of models from each mold in order to recoup development costs. Some subjects are so obscure that it's difficult to sell large quantities of them. Resin-casting is a much simpler and less expensive process, and manufacturers can use it to make limited runs of models that can't be cost effectively manufactured in diecast metal. With resin-cast models, collectors can add fascinating and unusual subjects to their collections without the time and difficulty of assembling and painting a model kit.
