About product

VAB 6x6 1:35 (Heller)

An injection-molded plastic model of the French wheeled armored personnel carrier VAB 6x6 in 1:35 scale from the French brand Heller. The kit captures the six-wheeled (6x6) export version of this widespread vehicle and offers finely rendered parts including a detailed instrument panel and the tire inflation system.

The real subject

The VAB (Véhicule de l'Avant Blindé, that is armored forward vehicle) is a French wheeled armored personnel carrier that serves in many countries on every continent. The French Army uses mainly the four-wheeled version (4x4), while the six-wheeled version (6x6) is exported — states of North Africa and the Middle East chose it, for example, for better going across country. The vehicle, with a powerful engine and an automatic transmission, was often used in combat and on peacekeeping missions, among others under the UN and NATO.

Building and painting tips

On armored vehicles, assemble and paint the chassis and the interior before you close the hull. Glue the plastic parts with thin modeling cement and any small parts with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Apply a primer and spray the colors with an airbrush in thin coats. The wheels and the lower body come to life with a wash into the recesses and dust pigments for the effect of use across country.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of modern French and export armored vehicles in 1:35 scale
  • Modelers interested in wheeled armored personnel carriers
  • Builders of dioramas on the theme of peacekeeping and modern missions
  • Anyone interested in the less usual six-wheeled version of the VAB

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
