I realize this is a bit behind but I just had to add that on the original comments by Stu when he said “Something British presumably? And ex some Desert war too judging from the camo scheme. Is it perhaps an M113?” all you needed to do was hit the link for the M113 to see that the US is the country of origin for it as opposed to British. I have driven these and can attest to them being uncomfortable. Hopefully the Rhino is more user friendly.

Thank you for clarifying that gentlemen (and thanks Dustan for your ability to read tags :)).

Allan, frankly I always wondered about the side doors on the Rhino model too, because it seems a little redundant to run the tracks above and below the doors. Yeah I know…it’s just a model!

It is a British FV432 armored personnel carrier. I am curious to see how THQ are going to deal with the side doors on the Rhino–on the models the doors actually occupy the space that the wheels and tracks should occupy. Cosmetic only doors perhaps?

Here is the Wikipedia link for the FV432: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FV432

Incorrect. It is a FV 432, I know this because its one of the tags on the flicker photo set.

Looks like an M113 to me if it’s being made here or in OZ I imagine it would be.
