As mentioned earlier in the week<\/a>, we have a number of new 15mm SF models that we’ll be taking to Blast-tastic!<\/a> tomorrow, and some of these are hitting the website today.<\/p>\n

\"BlaireauRelease\"<\/p>\n

The Blaireau (Badger<\/em>) and Belette (Weasel<\/em>) are French-made 6×6 utility vehicles that are used for liaison, scout, troop-carrying, casevac, ELINT and any number of other purposes. They are from the same family as our existing Javelot<\/a> and Lievre<\/a> vehicles and share a common chassis and drive train.<\/p>\n

The main difference is that while the Blaireau<\/a> is an unarmed utility vehicle, the Belette<\/a> has a turret ring fitted with a remote mount that can carry either twin MGs, a 5-barrel gatling or a twin Mantra missile pod – or in the case of the Martre<\/a> (Marten<\/em>) variant, a radar dish. So now you really can be ‘KBB’ (see below for the KBB reference from ‘Big Bang Theory’).<\/p>\n

In addition to these, we also have a version of the Tassigny APC<\/a> fitted with a radar instead of a turret, and also a radar dish on the Asterie<\/a> remote base.<\/p>\n
