Ace 72433 FV-603B Saracen Mk.II 1/72 – Plastic model kit

We present a high-quality plastic model kit Ace 72433 FV-603B Saracen Mk.II in 1/72 scale, which perfectly replicates one of the most characteristic armored vehicles of the post-war period. The FV-603B Saracen Mk.II was a British armored personnel carrier, widely used from the 1950s until the end of the Cold War in many regions of the world.

The Saracen Mk.II was developed in response to the British Army's requirements for a universal armored personnel carrier. The model represents the improved version introduced in the early 1950s, which was used during operations in Malaysia, Cyprus, as well as in Uganda, Oman, and other British colonies, and in urban conflicts in Northern Ireland. The Saracen excelled in harsh conditions, serving as both a troop transport and command vehicle, with its 6x6 drive, armor protecting against small arms fire, and a turret equipped with a machine gun.
