Heller 57147 VBCI - Starter Kit 1/35

The Heller 57147 VBCI - Starter Kit 1/35 scale plastic model kit is an extremely detailed replica of the French armored vehicle VBCI (Véhicule Blindé de Combat d'Infanterie), which was introduced into service in France in the modern era, starting from 2008. This model represents one of the most advanced designs in the infantry fighting vehicle category, widely used in modern warfare and peacekeeping missions. The VBCI is still operated by the French army, for example during the intervention in Mali as part of Operation Serval, as well as in other international stabilization missions.

The Heller model is produced in 1/35 scale, ensuring that details such as weaponry, running gear, and armor elements are faithfully recreated compared to the original vehicle. The product is manufactured from high-quality plastic, guaranteeing durability, easy assembly, and very good fit of the individual parts. The Starter Kit set includes everything necessary to get started: model glue, a paintbrush, and a basic set of paints, allowing you to paint the vehicle in authentic French camouflage patterns.
