{"product_id":"m88-arv-desert-6870245","title":"M88 ARV Desert (6870245)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Ready-Made Artitec model depicts a U.S. Army M88 armored recovery vehicle prepared for field operations in a Desert Sand finish. Unlike the train-load version, this model features a roof-mounted .50-caliber machine gun, open crew hatches, raised mirrors, and other equipment presented in an operational configuration. The A-frame recovery boom is secured along the hull, with finely reproduced hydraulic lines, cables, chains, pulleys, lifting equipment, and towing fittings throughout the vehicle. Additional details include the broad front spade, side-mounted spare road wheels and track blocks, tools, access panels, lights, and heavily weathered running gear. Small unit-style bumper markings and realistic dust, grime, rust, and abrasion reinforce its Gulf War-era appearance. Artitec identifies item 6870245 as a Ready-Made H0 1:87 model, handcrafted from resin and etched-metal parts and individually painted by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"z9gogb\" data-start=\"2870\" data-end=\"2924\"\u003eReady-Made 1:87 HO scale Artitec model\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"z9gogb\" data-start=\"2870\" data-end=\"2924\"\u003eU.S. Army M88 armored recovery vehicle in a Desert Sand finish\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"z9gogb\" data-start=\"2870\" data-end=\"2924\"\u003eField configuration with a roof-mounted .50-caliber machine gun and open crew hatches\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"z9gogb\" data-start=\"2870\" data-end=\"2924\"\u003eA-frame recovery boom secured along the hull with detailed hydraulic lines, cables, chains, and pulleys\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"z9gogb\" data-start=\"2870\" data-end=\"2924\"\u003eBroad front spade with realistic abrasion, exposed-metal effects, dust, and wear\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"z9gogb\" data-start=\"2870\" data-end=\"2924\"\u003eDetailed recovery equipment including lifting hooks, shackles, winches, towing fittings, and tools\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"z9gogb\" data-start=\"2870\" data-end=\"2924\"\u003eSide-mounted spare road wheels, track blocks, access panels, lights, and equipment fittings\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"z9gogb\" data-start=\"2870\" data-end=\"2924\"\u003eFine running-gear detail including suspension components, road wheels, sprockets, and tracks\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"z9gogb\" data-start=\"2870\" data-end=\"2924\"\u003eSmall unit-style bumper markings add to the Gulf War-era presentation\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"z9gogb\" data-start=\"2870\" data-end=\"2924\"\u003eRealistic hand-painted dust, grime, rust, and service-wear effects\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"z9gogb\" data-start=\"2870\" data-end=\"2924\"\u003eCollector-quality Artitec model made from resin with etched-metal detail parts\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"z9gogb\" data-start=\"2870\" data-end=\"2924\"\u003eSuitable for military collectors, HO-scale layouts, vehicle displays, and dioramas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Artitec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49863223378168,"sku":"6870245","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/2779\/4936\/files\/m88-arv-desert-2.jpg?v=1783365387","url":"https:\/\/usmodelshop.com\/products\/m88-arv-desert-6870245","provider":"US Model Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
