Kit already in my possession Kit already in my possession Kit already in my possession Waiting for this kit Getting back into modelling after a few years break. Intend to build a set of vehicles that made up a Chieftain based Armoured Regiment REME Fitter section. The fitter section consisted of about 15 men of various trades and kept each squadron going. 1RTR was a regiment that had 5 squadrons A, B, C, D and HQ Chieftain IFCS and Togs modified based, but all the fitter sections used Centurion MK2 ARV's as the then new Chieftain ARRV's were needed by all the Challenger Regiments (CRARRV was still on the drawing board at that time). I have already received a Revell 3/4t Series III Landrover, a Takom FV432 and an Accurate Armour FV434. Just waiting for an Accurate Armour 3/4t Trailer (for the Landrover) and an Accurate Armour Centurion ARV Mk2, plus associated items that will make the vehicles that formed the fitter section I commanded when serving with 1RTR in Hildesheim BRD.

Introduced in the 1960s, it is operated by the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME). It is still used by the REME, but is soon to be phased out.
