Trumpeter 00388 VCR-105 1/35 - Centauro-derived Spanish 8x8 AFV model

A 1/35 scale plastic model kit representing the Spanish VCR-105, a Centauro-derived 8x8 armored fighting vehicle; positioned as a detailed assembly kit intended for scale modelers and collectors.

The VRC-105 (Centauro-derived) entered Spanish service after an initial order of 22 vehicles for the Lusitania 8 Cavalry Regiment, followed by a second order for 62 units in 2002. Spanish examples incorporated late-production changes and local modifications: a stretched hull, bolted add-on armor on the front, basket-mounted containers at the turret rear, revised external fittings, repositioned smoke launchers, and locally fitted radio equipment and aerials. These changes reflect adaptation for Spanish operational requirements rather than a new base design.

The kit replicates the external arrangements typical of the Spanish batches, including turret and hull modifications visible on reference vehicles. Construction requires standard modeling practices and yields a displayable stowage and exterior detail set suitable for dioramas or static displays. Decal options are provided for Spanish Army markings and the parts layout covers hull, turret, and running gear components as indicated by the manufacturer data.

A factual, scale-accurate kit focused on external detail and Spanish-specific fittings; suitable for modelers aiming for historically based external appearance and display quality.
