06/24 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Perhaps more familiar in the UK in its Panther CLV guise, the Iveco LMV (Light Multirole Vehicle) was initially adopted by the Italians. Perhaps uniquely among modern enhanced protection vehicles, it serves with both NATO and Russian forces, being built under licence in Russia as the Rys. According to Wikipedia it also serves with Albania, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Croatia, Czech Republic, Lebanon, Norway, Slovakia, Spain, Syria and Tunisia. Surely once of the most widespread single vehicle types this century. The Italeri kit has been around for a few years, and is typical of the manufacturer, decent basic outline, some annoying mould issues, etch and (I hope) excellent transfers. What do you get: LMV Lince, Italeri 1/35 by jongwinnett, on Flickr LMV Lince, Italeri 1/35 by jongwinnett, on Flickr LMV Lince, Italeri 1/35 by jongwinnett, on Flickr My idea is to produce one for the vehicles used by KFOR, or at least one in NATO three-tone camo. A British Panther would be good but a cursory glance suggests a fair amount of scratchbuilt additions would be required, so I’m taking the easy route.
