Trumpeter 1/72 V-150 Commando Armoured Personal Carrier with 20mm Cannon Scaled Plastic Model Kit

The Cadillac Gage Commando V-150 is a highly successful and adaptable 4x4 wheeled armoured vehicle used by armed forces across the globe. Renowned for its ruggedness and reliability, the V-150 combines high speed, with a maximum of 113 km/h on roads, with a fully amphibious capability. Its watertight hull allows it to swim across rivers and waterways without any preparation, making it an exceptionally mobile and versatile platform for a wide range of battlefield roles. This adaptability is the key to its success, with the V-150 being produced in at least 16 different configurations. These include command post, mortar carrier, air defence, and recovery vehicle variants. The chassis can also be fitted with numerous armament stations, from basic machine guns to powerful 90mm cannons. The version equipped with a 20mm cannon provided a good balance of anti-infantry and anti-light-armour firepower, making it a popular choice for reconnaissance and security missions.
