Let me guess, you used the "Philippine army tank scale model" google search. Am I right? I used that search & ended up in the same link.

Uh..Nope...I was looking for a good reference material on Philippine Marine Uniforms...(yung Battle Dress na camo....) balak ko kseng gumawa ng Marine Sniper na dio e...^_^

The links got me dun sa site na yun....Kinlick ko sa "INFORMATION" and there it was - A Philippine Armor in resin, 1/35 scale...I guess I'll have to get me that "GALLANT WARRIORS" book thing...

Parati kong nakikita sa mga balita yung mga sundalo natin. Ang napapansin ko ang kanilang madalas na suot eh yung BRITISH battle dress uniform cammo pattern. Malimit lang akong makakita ng nagsusuot ng uniporme ng mga Kano.

Oh my it looks very good! Sadly it's a resin kit so it'll cost PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!! If a 1/32 F-16C cockpit in resin by Black Box costs close to P2000, then a whole 1/35 resin armor kit would cost a house!

Still, I'm sure one of the IPMS members will buy one and build it and show it in the next exhibit (whenever it'll be).

Methinks blitz still has one of these.

For them cash-strapped modelers (like me), this will have to do.

.

Would still cost around Php 1500 though.

It's the AIFV - really an "improved" version of the M113. It has spaced, foam-filled armor. The AIFV itself is used by our military, Turkey, and Greece I think. The Denmark version (Lynx I think) has a 20mm gun turret - deactivated I think. Korea has something similar - the KIFV, as well as Malaysia.

yes, hopefully in the future we're planning to go home back to our motherland, and who knows you might be lucky... :-) maybe another 3 or 4 more years... hehehe
by the way a very nice paint scheme for AIFV is the Urban camouflage(which i saw personally during the first people power (86), I don't know if the PSG(Presidential Security Guards) still using this scheme... it's basically the same scheme on the British Chieftain and was use in West Berlin in the late 70's and early 80's

The urban camo scheme is still in the PSG Simbas if I'm not mistaken - saw it on TV months ago when GMA was still fresh as president.

Now, on the Hari-Digma, that is weird to say the least.
