Trumpeter 09516 Rooikat AFV 1/35 Scale Modern Armour Kit  [TP09516]

Trumpeter 09516 Rooikat 1/35 Scale AFV Model

This 1/35 scale Rooikat from Trumpeter captures key traits of the South African armoured fighting vehicle with careful moulding and scale-accurate proportions. Designed to reflect the Rooikat's role as a fast, mobile platform, the kit appeals to modellers who enjoy modern military subjects and detailed assembly work.

Why the Rooikat Matters in Scale

The Rooikat is noted for speed and off-road agility, features that come through in the model's profile and suspension parts. The kit reproduces the vehicle's silhouette and external fittings so modellers can explore how reconnaissance vehicles balance mobility and protection.

Assembly Notes for Model Builders

Targeted at intermediate to advanced builders, this Trumpeter kit includes finely moulded components and decal sheets for authentic markings. Expect a rewarding build when you focus on turret details and suspension; standard modelling tools and glue are required.

Showcase and Diorama Use

Completed, the Rooikat makes a strong display model or a centrepiece in a modern warfare diorama. Its distinctive hull and turret lines lend themselves to realistic weathering and display layouts that highlight reconnaissance scenes.
