AFV Club 35354 Husky Mk. III VMMD with Interrogation Arm 1/35 is an advanced plastic model kit in 1/35 scale, replicating a modern vehicle designed for the detection and neutralization of mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). This model depicts the third generation of the South African Husky vehicle, featuring a distinctive arm for detailed ground interrogation.

The Husky VMMD (Vehicle-Mounted Mine Detection) vehicle was developed in the Republic of South Africa by DCD Protected Mobility together with American company Critical Solutions International. The inclusion of a specialized interrogation arm enables precise and safe investigation of suspicious areas, removing threats without endangering the crew. Its predecessor was the well-known Rhodesian vehicle Pookie. The Husky was mainly used by the South African military and, after technology transfer to the USA in the 1990s, by American and allied units in conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and subsequent anti-terror operations.
