The FV217 Badger was a proposed tank destroyer based on the FV214 Conqueror Heavy tank - mounting an enormous 123mm gun on a fixed casemate similar to the Tortoise.

The Amusing Hobby kit is based on their Conqueror lower hull and running gear with a new superstructure - the entire turret sprue from the base kit is included.

The kit goes together well and includes decent individual link tracks which claim to be workable but some don't click together particularly well.

The colour options are both for "what-if" vehicles as the Badger never got beyond the prototype stage. I chose the "Berlin Brigade" version over the more boring "Nato" Green and Black option.

The Ferret gives some idea of just how big this thing would have been....
