handler 69 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Just wondering mind you, do any German post war vehicles ever come up for sale such as the "Fuchs" for instance :red: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelH Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yes and maybe, Yes post war German armour does come up for sale on the private market - Leopard and some others. Maybe, I have never seen a Fuch's for sale on Milweb, I did a web search and couldn't find any currently offered for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handler 69 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks for that! Nice looking vehicle the "Fuchs" May have to buy the model kit instead LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelH Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 What you want to do is search for "Tpz Fuchs" it may focus your search a little bit more - there appears to be a great deal about cars coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schliesser92 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 You won't find any Fuchs vehicles up for sale for quite a while, until the BOXER comes into service. At the moment the Fuchs vehicles are being uodated with extra armour etc to become the IED Fuchs. M113s are also being withdrawn from service, with some of their roles (ie ambulance) being taken up by Fuchs. There is also a problem aquiring combat vehicles, due to the Kriegswaffenkontrollgesetz (Law governing the control of weapons of war) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphibi boy Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 The british army use a few also. When are they due for disposal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schliesser92 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) The British Army use the NBC Recce version, which is incredibly expensive, I heard from a Bundeswehr NBC type who thought that the "exported" ABC-Fuchs (German nomenclature) were in fact leased, and not sold. How true that is I don't know. So the answer could be - never. Edited May 7, 2011 by schliesser92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
