This is the Academy Warrior MICV depicting a vehicle used by British Army Training Unit Suffield (BATUS). After an exercise out there this spring I noticed that my colours are not accurate. The paints used were all Tamiya; Buff, Olive Drab, and Black. There is no black in the BATUS Friendly Forces scheme, and the Buff should be replaced with Tamiya Desert Yellow (a very close match). The olive is a good match out of the bottle. The letters are dry transfers, and for this vehicle, are fictional. I wasn't able to decipher the proper brit markings. The turret basket was a nightmare, most of it had to be re-built from scratch, and the frontal bolt-on armour did not fit, and was left off.
