This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.
The Sisu xa-203 is an armored personnel carrier developed by the Finnish company Patria. Developed as an improved successor to the previously deployed xa-180 series of six-wheel-drive armored personnel carriers, its main feature is its reinforced amor; although it's not amphibious, its armor can withstand submersion in up to 1.5 meters of water. It carries a crew of three, and can accommodate up to seven infantrymen. In addition, the roof is equipped with a remote-controlled weapon station that can be mounted with a 7.62mm or 12.7mm machine gun; the Finnish military specification carries the 12.7mm machine gun. It's equipped with a Valmet diesel engine that generates 295 horsepower; its maximum speed on level roads is 90km/h. Besides Finland, it is also deployed and operated in Sweden and Norway.
This model kit was developed by the Finnish manufacturer Finmill Model, and is a completely new mold! The characteristic shape of this six-wheel-drive armored vehicle has been fully reproduced; the hull is molded in two pieces. On the top surface, the remote-controlled weapon station equipped with a machine gun is reproduced in high detail, down to the hatches. The driver's seat and steering wheel is included in the front part; the lower part of the hull features separate parts for the leaf spring suspension and shock absorber. Decals are included for Finnish Defense Force markings. Order yours today!
