Some other countries have also shown an interest in the Warthog as well as the UK. Jane’s Defence Weekly (JDW) claims that it “has been sold to one other undisclosed country in the region, believed to be Thailand.” JDW also claims that it is competing for a French Army tender against the BvS10 Mk II.

There could be slight differences between the Warthogs supplied to the British and to other countries. The British Warthogs, for example, will have appliqué and bar armour fitted by Thales UK in Wales. This may not be the case with the Warthogs used by other countries.

Here's a link that has a panoramic view, but it's not working for my browser, and I'm not sure which varient it is. Maybe it will work for your browser, or maybe it's a site error.

http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/server/c.../2/viewIndex/1

Are you looking for the turreted version, or non-turreted?

I think there's four varients, including an ambulance and a recovery vehicle with crane, but the only two that SP could possibly use are:

Troop carrying Varient

Command Varient

cheers,

Forget the link. It's the Viking not the Warthog.

The only thing I could find was a top view of the Bronco:

http://www.one35th.com/attc/attc_spec.htm

I believe the MoD bought the Bronco, but with some serious mods before delivery as the 'Warthog'. For example the Warthog has a front centre turret, but the Bronco has two roof-top hatches at the front, one on the left one on the right.

Hope this helps.
Cross

ps. I hear the first Warthogs were delivered in September. No doubt they will try to rush them to A-stan after trials.
