VCR-105 1/35 Centauro-derived Spanish 8x8 AFV Model Kit - Trumpeter 00388  [TP00388]

Trumpeter 00388 VCR-105 1/35 scale - Centauro-derived Spanish 8x8

This 1/35 scale plastic model depicts the Spanish VCR-105, derived from the Centauro family, and is supplied as a detailed assembly kit tailored for scale modellers and collectors.

The VCR-105 entered Spanish service with an initial delivery of 22 vehicles to the Lusitania 8 Cavalry Regiment, followed by a later order of 62 units in 2002. Spanish examples were modified with later-production and local changes including an extended hull, bolted front add-on armor, basket-style storage on the turret rear, updated external fittings, relocated smoke launchers, and radio equipment with fitted aerials. These fitments reflect Spanish operational modifications rather than a change to the base vehicle concept.

The kit aims to capture the external features specific to the Spanish batches, recreating turret and hull modifications seen on reference machines. Builders should expect conventional assembly steps to achieve a neat exterior finish suitable for diorama work or display. The decal sheet offers Spanish Army markings and the parts breakdown covers hull, turret, and running gear as listed by the manufacturer.

A fact-focused, externally accurate kit that highlights Spanish-specific fittings, suitable for modellers pursuing a period-correct external representation.
