Three models starting a new line for us. Sculpted by Mike Broadbent, mixed-media resin-and-metal kits, in 1:56 scale. These work well with the Eureka Miniatures' Rhodesian War figures.
The Eland is an air-portable, light armored car based on the Panhard AML. Designed and built by South Africa for long-range reconnaissance. The Eland 90 mounts a Denel 90mm gun on a very compact chassis. Lightly armored, the vehicle's permanent 4x4 drive makes it faster over flat terrain than many tanks. Prominent foreign operators included Rhodesia, Morocco and Zimbabwe. $27.00 USD
The Eland 60 used the same hull as the 90, but mounted a 60mm breech-loading mortar on a different turret configuration. $27.00 USD
The Pookie MRAP was a small one-person vehicle named after the bush baby. It was fitted with large Formula One tires, bought secondhand after the South African Grand Prix. The wide tires prevented the detonation of buried mines. The vehicle was made with readily-available parts from the Volkswagen Kombi, and resembles a small go-cart with an elevated cab. The Pookie had a V-shaped reinforced hull to deflect the blast away from the operator. Sensor pans were lowered and used perpendicular to the ground below the cab. $26.00 USD
