The VAB was designed as a wheeled troop transporter, complementing the tracked AMX-10P. Specifications for the project called for an NBC-proof, amphibious,[4] lightly armoured vehicle to provide infantry with basic protection against shrapnel and light infantry weapons. These features were dictated by its possible usage in the event of an all-out conventional war breaking out against the Warsaw Pact; in particular, the amphibious capabilities were needed to bridge the rivers in Eastern France and in Germany.[5]
Companies Panhard and Saviem/Renault answered the requirement, and the Renault prototype was selected in May 1974,[6] with 4000 units ordered. The first delivery occurred in 1976, and production continued at a rate of 30 to 40 units a month.[3]
A double armoured door at the rear allows access to the passenger compartment. Two inwards-looking, foldable benches provide space for 5 soldiers each. The crew enters the forwards compartment through two lateral hatches, the driver on the left, and the gunner of the right; two more hatches in the roof give access to armament and provide for emergency exit. The front windows are bullet-proof and heated, and can be further sheltered from incomming fire by armoured pannels which can be either entirely shut, or leave a small slit for observation; the windows on the side and rear doors are covered by a similar system.
The engine is located behind the driver, while the right side of the vehicle is kept free, providing a passageway between the crew and passager compartments.source

ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to this. Even though your models are great for sitting on a shelf, they are a bit large and delicate for wargaming.
ReplyDeleteHave you considered offering models for use in war games?
you can email me (tekz_8@yahoo.com) for more discussion about the wargaming project, I'm very excited ^^
ReplyDeleteYour models are quite nice...I enjoy all of them...Quite good results...
ReplyDeleteSo you plan a release of your UN vehicle? I've looked high and low for good version to build and, no doubt, yours will be excellent...
Many thanks for your models,

ReplyDeleteTo; anonymous. Yes, These models are very useful for modern and near-future wargames. And because the file can be resized to whatever scale you're using, then printed off and built as needed there's no cost issue with producing them for a single scenario. (If you're interested, my first use of these models was the UN VAB model as 'mobile scenery' in a near-future hostage scenario using GZG's 'Stargrunt' rules.)
ReplyDeleteIf you're having trouble with durability, use a heavier grade of paper, or use a(resized to scale)Printout as the master for plasticard components, then scratchbuild away. This will also alow you to add three-dimentional surface details like hatches and the like. The result can then be painted like any other plastic model (I plan to produce a set of the MNU apc's in 1/60th (28mm) this way)
Anyway, thanks for the plans Tekzo. Clear skies and tailwinds.
Banu, saya mau downloadnya bisa didownload yang panser VAB
