The FV4005 Stage II featured a monumental box-shaped turret with exceptionally thin armor, enabling it to mount the powerful 183mm gun. In reality, only a prototype of this vehicle was produced and tested, but the project was canceled due to impracticality and issues with the loading mechanism. Nevertheless, the FV4005 became a legend in military circles, inspiring designers and fans of modern armored games alike.

The AFV Club 35405 model stands out for its very high level of detail – you can easily recreate, among other things, the characteristic turret shape, the intricate running gear and on-board tool arrangement, as well as realistically rendered barrels and suspension components. The model's assembly difficulty is rated 4 out of 5, making it recommended for intermediate to advanced modelers who value accuracy and faithful replication of historical details. It also serves as an excellent base for advanced weathering – the model looks great both in a pristine and a "battle-worn" diorama version.

If you dream of owning a unique vehicle that never made it to mass production and stands as a true curiosity of Cold War military thought, AFV Club 35405 British Tank Destroyer FV4005 Stage II (1/35) is the best choice for your collection! This set will delight fans of British armored vehicles, historical modelers, and gamers inspired by the mightiest guns from virtual battlefields.
