Detailed scale display model of the South African Casspir mine-protected armoured personnel carrier (APC), finished in SADF-style sand, mounted on a wooden plinth. Includes original supporting ephemera: “The Casspir Series” brochure and technical sheets (including Casspir MkII APC and Casspir Freighter), plus period correspondence linking the model supply to Colchester Military Museum—notably an ARMSCOR (Krygkor Armscor) letter dated 1990-04-19 headed “Information Request – Casspir” and a TEM (Pty) Ltd letter dated 1990-08-31 referencing dispatch of a Casspir model and payment. A rare, provenance-backed collector’s set tied to South African mine-protected vehicle history and late-apartheid era defence industry outreach.
