Availability of Vehicle Models With Bar Armor ?
Posted by Sprue-ce Goose on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 9:33 AM

I was just looking at a photo of a 2013? release by Airfix of their "1:48 scale BAE Systems Warrior armoured vehicle".

Doing a quick check of 1/35 th kits on one retail website ( presuming the most popular scale ) came up empty.

Are any "mainstream" manufacturers other than Airfix beginning to produce vehicle models with Bar Armor - in any scale ?

The Hobby Boss Canadian Leopard has some, and I have a dim memory of Accurate Amrour doing something but all the others I've seen are in photo-etch.

Phil,

Thanks for the Hobby Boss reference.

found it here so far:

but not in stock.

Has anyone seen the PE bar armor?

Photos I have seen of bar armor give me the impression that bar armor is thick enough so that it can be realistically portrayed in plastic with modern CAD CAM new tooling.

I have a set of photetch bar armour at home for the stryker and its a BIG set, its almost puttying me off doing the kit to be honest. Your main problem will be getting the spaceing right, in my etch there is a template to use which was a relief to see
