TOTW: FV510 Warrior

The FV510 Warrior is one of the most recognizable armored fighting vehicles fielded by the British Army during the late Cold War and post-Cold War era. Developed from the MCV-80 program to replace the aging FV432 series, the Warrior entered service in the late 1980s as a highly mobile infantry fighting vehicle designed to keep pace with British armored formations. Armed with a 30mm L21A1 RARDEN cannon and a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun, the Warrior could transport a full infantry section while providing direct fire support on the battlefield. Its combination of speed, armor protection, and cross-country mobility made it highly effective during operations in the Gulf War, Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, where additional applique and slat armor packages were often fitted to improve survivability against mines and rocket-propelled grenades. Despite its age, the Warrior earned a strong reputation for reliability and crew protection, becoming a cornerstone of British mechanized infantry doctrine for decades.

  • Incredible 3D Models

    3D designer Bob Mackenzie is a talented artist. Because Bob is also a wargamer he understands the subject. This leads to 3D Models that are unparalleled when it comes to detail and accuracy. Furthermore Bob prints in 3D so he understands how vehicles need to be made to create the ultimate model for your game table.

  • Pre-Supported

    You will receive both the unsupported and pre-supported STL  files optimized for all three scales: 15mm (1:100), 20mm (1:72), and 28mm (1:56). Of course, the files can be re-scaled to any size if your favorite is not on the list.

    All the pre-supported files, in each of the three scales, have been printed successfully on an Anycubic Photon printer.

    Every model has been printed successfully.  Of course, 3D printing has many variables, and printers have different parameters.  Unsupported STLs and Lychee files will be included so you can tweak the supports for your situation.

    We have not tested these models using an FDM printer. However models of a similar quality for our previous BAOR kickstarter have been nicely printed with an FDM printer and there is not reason why the Soviet models should not also print to a similar standard.

  • 3 Different Scales

    All files are optimized for all three scales: 15mm (1:100), 20mm (1:72), and 28mm (1:56). Of course, the files can be re-scaled to any size if your favorite is not on the list.
