The AFV Club 35S88 CM-33 TIFV Pre-Serial Production model in 1/35 scale is an excellent choice for enthusiasts of modern military vehicles. This kit allows you to recreate the early versions of the CM-33 TIFV (Taiwan Infantry Fighting Vehicle) armored personnel carriers, which were designed and put into service by the Armed Forces of the Republic of China (Taiwan). This "Pre-Serial Production" edition faithfully reproduces the details of the prototype and first production examples, enabling you to build a unique vehicle of historical significance.

The CM-33 TIFV was developed for the Taiwanese army in the 1980s as a local modification of the American M113, adapted to the region’s conditions and end users’ requirements. The vehicle took part in numerous exercises and military operations, serving as the main transport for mechanized infantry. Thanks to enhanced armor and the use of a turret with armament, the vehicle proved effective both as a personnel carrier and as a light infantry fighting vehicle during the Cold War and in modern times.
