==IRL== [[File:Puckapunyal-M113-MRV-1-1.jpg|right|300px|thumb|See that? That's a big fucking gun, that is.]] The MRV is the Australian version of the [[CVRT#Scorpion|Scorpion]], mounting the turret of the latter on top of a M113 chassis. The MRV was used in the medium reconnaissance role, for when opposition was expected but not against tanks, fielding them to cavalry units as opposed to infantry as was the case with lighter recon vehicles. Also, another modification that you wonβt find on American M113s, was the inclusion of a built-in tea boiler. ''Smashing.'' Modelling: We normally don't discuss the assembly aspect of the models too much here on 1D4Chan, but in this case it's probably fair to make an exception. Thing is, the models for the MRV that Battlefront make (and they are, for the moment, the only ones who do) are plastic/resin/metal hybrids, with the top armour plate (and turret) cast in resin. This is just asking for trouble, as the thin slab of resin tends to be seriously warped and even shrunk, meaning you have to perform serious filling etc. to make it fit with the rest of the (mainly plastic) hull. It can certainly be done, but takes more than average skill, time, and effort. Luckily, an ANZAC M113 Cav Troop only ever includes a single MRV, so you're not likely to construct too many of these otherwise cool models. {{ANZAC Forces in Team Yankee}} [[Category:Vehicles]]
