Product: 1:72 AAVP-7A1 (Desert Yellow)
Moving from ship to shore in an expeditionary way requires amphibious
assault vehicles, and for a long time the US Marine Corps has relied on
the AAV7A1 family to do exactly that. Built by BAE Systems, this family
of AAVs has carried US marines ashore for nearly 50 years in exercises
and combat operations, as well as proving itself in ground fighting in
places such as Iraq. The 29-ton personnel-carrying variant is known as
the AAVP7A1, with the current configuration known as the Reliability,
Availability, Maintainability/Rebuild to Standard (RAM/RS). Also
introduced in 1993 were Enhanced Applique Armor Kits (EAAK) that increase protection levels for occupants.
