Zrhl Muharebe Aracnn The Short History
Ksa Tarihesi of the ACV
The experiences gained from the usage of the light armored, open topped and half tracked
M3A1 personnel carriers that were used during the Second World War led US Army to search for an
advanced vehicle which would suit the same purpose.
The Evolution of Armored Personnel Carrier In the last 50 years, the production of M113 totaled more than 80.000. Since

which could be produced in high numbers but with a lower cost. improvements of mobility, survivability and mission equipments, M113A4
would represent the most advanced model of the M113 family.
In 8 November 1951, The US Army contracted FMC (Food Machinery and
Chemical Corporation) to work on a new vehicle which would have the same
characteristics of M75 but with a relatively cheaper cost in production. FMCs
proposal of the new vehicle was M59 (T59E1) which was had a steel hull
weighed 19,3 tons and 146 HP drive train. The proposal was subsequently
accepted by the US Army and the production had begun immediately. The
vehicle was kept in service until 1960 and more than 6,000 units were pro-
duced.
The Emergence of M113 APC
In 1954, Detroit Tank Arsenal Plant (DATP) begun to work on a new concept of
light armored vehicle. The new vehicle would weigh 7,3 tons, can be dropped
by parachute to troops in the field, and would have amphibious capability.
Also the new vehicle was desired to perform as armored personnel carrier,
gun carrier, armored ambulance and armored supply vehicle without major
modificationsto be applied on the basic platform. Tactical wheeled vehicles
were also considered within the same project scope. However by 1955, the
M59
US Army left aside the tactical wheeled concept due to the problems of the
limitations in cross country mobility.
As the options were narrowed, the work progressed with FMCs aluminum
alloy hullT113 model. However in 1957 the US Army revised the specifica-
FMC presented the T113E2 model which fulfilled the specifications and with
a reduction in weigh and subsequently this model was accepted. In 1959 two
pilot prototypes were built under the codename M113 and in 1960 the serial
production of M113 has started.

In 1989 Turkish Defense Industry Undersecretary (Savunma Sanayi
ZMA (AIFV) Mstearl - SSM) contracted FNSS (FMC Nurol Defence Industries) for the
production of 1698 AIFVs in 4 different configurations. The first batch of 200
vehicles that were delivered had 265 HP Detroit Diesel 6VT3T engines and
TX100-1A transmission power packs.
While the further production was in progress, changes were made to 305 HP
diesel engines and full automatic X200-4 transmissions. Also the first batch
of 200 vehicles were updated with the new standards. In 2000, a new con-
tract was signed between SSM and FNSS for the production of 551 Advanced
Armored Personnel Carrier (GZPT) which eventually have better character-
istics of survivability.
The comparison between the FNSS built AIFV and the M113 and YPR 765 re-
veals some differences. The FNSS model has extended survivability capacity,
greater improvement over mobility features and improved cargo capacity.
Other features include the lever driving system is replaced with a steering
wheel, night vision system for the driver, NBC protection, a better electric
system that includes an improved control panel and a fuse box that has a
ZMA-15 (ACV-15) capacity to include further subsystems, improved level of armor protection
without any negative effect to amphibious capacity, advanced cooling sys-
tem and improved firing ports for the infantry.
Regarding the contracts that were signed, FNSS has delivered over 2000
vehicles in four configurations until 2003. The configurations are labelled
as Armored Fighting Vehicle (armed with either 25mm DAF or 25mm GIAR
DRAGAR turrets), Advanced Armored Personnel Carrier (armed with either
12.7 armored cupola or 12.7 Cadillac Cage Turret), Armored TOW Vehicle and
Armored 81mm Mortar Carrier. Regardless of their configurations, all vehi-
cles have subsystems NBC protection, firing ports, periscopes, night vision
for the driver. With their extensive mobility and high degree of armor protec-
tion, these vehicles expanded the Turkish Armys capabilities widely.
Apart from Turkish Armys demands, FNSS has developed several different
configurations for the export market. These vehicles were exported to Unit-
ed Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Bahrein and Philippines. The configurations of
the export vehicles varied: Armored Engineering Vehicle, Armored Recovery
Vehicle, Armored Forward Artillery Observation Vehicle, Armored Command
ZMA-15 (ACV-15) and Control Vehicle, Armored Ambulance, Armored Anti-Tank Vehicle, Ar-
mored Fire Support Vehicle, Armored Infantry Fighting Vehicle. The vehicles
are equipped with 12.7mm machine gun or 40mm grenade launcher cupo-
las and 25mm Sharpshooter Turrets. FNSS referred her own production line
of vehicles as ZMA-15 (ACV-15).
Upon requests from the users, FNS integrated many subsystems to the pro-
duction vehicles. These include air conditioning systems, CBRN detection and
positive pressure protection system, laser detection and warning system,
navigation systems, thermal cameras and monitoring systems, automated
fire suppression system, mine blast seats, 350 HP power pack.
Until recently ACV-15s were used in NATO and UN operations by the Turkish
Army and the UAE Army proving their worth and gaining the respect of their
users.

AKINCI AIFV
Due to the new technologies with in the subsystems and new expectations
for capability improvements from the user side FNSS came forward with a
new ACV design preceding to its existing models.
In 2000, FNSS developed the first prototype of its new ACV design which
had common sub systems and logistic maintenance features with the older
production models. Named as ACV-19, the new vehicle is basically an ad-
vanced model of the ACV-15. However ACV-19 has much better cross coun-
try performance, better armor protection and has more payload capacity
than its predecessor. ACV-19 is powered by 350 Hp or 400 Hp electronically
controlled DD 6V53TA engine and Allison X200-4B hydrokinetic transmission
system though other power packages can also be used upon request.

The main developments in the superstructure are longer and wider hull, ad-
vanced suspension system and electronic power control system. Also the
improved payload capacity enables the integration of heavier equipment
systems and last generation 30mm gun turrets. The design also can be pro-
duced in different configurations such as 90mm fire support command and
control vehicle, armored ambulance and tracked logistics carrier..
The interchangeable parts that are used in ACV-19 and which are common
with ACV-15 and M113 have proven their long term reliability and supported
with a worldwide network of supply and well established maintenance facil-
ities, the ACV family presents a distinguished option in its class.
ACV-19 is being introduced and is exported with the designation ACV-19
(Armored Combat Vehicle 19 ton Class) to the foreign market. Recently ACV-
19 Command Post Vehicle has been delivered to Gulf Countries and ACV-19
120mm Mortar Carrier has entered service in the Malaysian Army.
Further studies are being made in Turkey for the upgrading of the vehicles
with the integration of latest technologies.

To increase the situational awareness of vehicles in accordance with the re-
cent threats; Close distance situational awareness system, acoustic gunfire
detection system, laser warning system applications are being evaluated.
Regarding the improvement of fire power, FNSS engineers, considered for
the application of Remotely Operated Weapon Systems. Also further up-
grades are being planned for improving the power pack and running gear to
provide enhance mobility.
If being approved, FNSS would employ these improvements and solutions to
the existing AAPCs which are in service with the Turkish Army.
ACV-15 vehicles, which have been on the Turkish Land Forces inventory
since 1993, will continue to function for the oncoming years thanks to their
medium weight class, amphibious capability, and cost-effective moderniza-
tion advantages.

The first AIFV models that were designed in the early 1970s carried the tech-
nical characteristics of the military concepts of the Cold War in which two
mechanized adversaries would meet on the battlefield and fight in a tactical
armored warfare.
AIFVs and APCs, which operate independently or together with tanks, consti-
tute the backbone of the Turkish infantry in the armored combat operations
still being carried out. Comprehensive modernization work has been carried
out to improve survivability, situational awareness, firepower and mobility
in accordance with the feedback received from the field of operations re-
garding the recent short-term performance of the vehicles. Consequently,
AAPC (GZPT) has gained the ability to carry out operations against asym-
metric threats. There are further plans to update the vehicles according to
the changing threat perceptions, to improve the performance and to provide
better service during the period in which the vehicles will be kept in the in-
ventory.
To improve survivability primary concern is being given for the improvement
of mine and ballistic protection, placement of mine protected seats, spall
liners, dual level fire suppression system, CBRN system, air conditioning &
RPG protection systems.

After a quick look, dry-fit and fast cleaning, I
started working on the upper hull of the model.
First, I opened the periscope holes on the Drivers
hatch, over the Commanders hatch, on the side
walls and four firing ports on both sides with a pin
vise tool, scalpel and sandpaper. Since the AFV
would be presented on the assembly line, some 9
parts of the kit will not be needed. So I filled the
existing holes with putty. Using plastic parts, I
made the inner frames of periscopes and firing
ports, spare track supports and NBC system.(3)

The Upper hatch of the squad compartment was
shown in closed position on the instruction sheet
of the model and no interior details were sup-
plied on the suprues. As my model required open
hatches, I rebuilt the interior of the hatch with
plastic sheet, chain and bolts. I also changed the
right hinge with a scratch one to mount it in open
position. (4)
On the lower hull; I prepared an in-scale template
of the vehicles floor, cut a thick plastic sheet on
this size and built the sidewalls, chassis support
bars and wheel connector rods.

As interior detailing was done,I airbrushed the
inner surfaces of the upper and lower hull with a
gray primer, followed by a mixture of Vallejo 951
White + 918 Ivory. Small pieces such as wheel
rods, drivers seat, automatic fire extinguisher,
dashboard were hand painted, then decals were
added and glued to their places. I used black elec-
trical cables for piping by crossing them inside
the holes on the chassis supports, adding plastic
joints and fixing them to the appropriate places
in the body according to the references. (11-12-

I had the feeling that the main challenge of the
project was modelling the diesel engine, but I
also knew that if properly done, it would be the
jewel of the diorama which would be located in
the front of the scene and act as the eye catcher.
Since I had no idea about diesel engines, I goo-
gled and learned that I have to make an engine
and a transmission block. I studied the photos
and drawings of the Detroit Diesel Model 6V-53T
in ZMA-15, compared them to my reference pho-
tos and started with a proper drawing. (15)
I made the main blocks using spare parts from
previous builts, plastic sheet and rods but result
was not very satisfying initially. Then I improved
wires, nuts from Meng Models set and connector
cables. As primed, it really looked like a diesel en-
gine and I felt happy for what I did. (16-17-18-19)

I painted the engine and let it dry .Meanwhile, I
wired the power cables on engine deck walls
which was a painstaking work because of the
curls on corners. Finally, engine was placed,
connection cables were plugged into the holes
and the vehicle was ready to paint. (20) My ref-
erence photos showed that the ACV-15 in my
project was not painted yet when it stood on the
assembly line but instead was undercoated in Ol-
ive Drab. I planned the same appearance and first
covered all gaps using cardboard sheets cut in
shape, masking tape and sponge parts to protect
painted interior, then sprayed hull in Vallejo 608
Olive Drab Surface Primer. Since the vehicle was
still on production and didnt already weathered
with field dirt or dust, it should be quite clean. So
I only applied a few coats of light filters instead
of a heavy weathering. I painted screw heads on
the hull and side armors, lamps, signal lights and
reflectors. I finished the work on the vehicle by
adding scuff marks and paint defects.

SON SZ
Bu dioramann her aamas benim iin ok fayda-
l ve zevkli bir sre oldu. Dizel motorlar hakknda
bilgi sahibi oldum, ZMA-15 zrhl muharebe arac-
nn iini nerdeyse kendi arabam kadar rendim.
Bylece gelecekteki FNSS etkinliklerinde sergi-
lenen arac daha bilinli ve zevk alarak kurcala-
yabileceim. Yapm srecinde hem gzel bir kit
yapma, hem de ortada bir kit olmadan bireyler
yaratma zevkini yaadm.
Baka dioramalarda grmek dileiyle.

1/35 lek Scale Diorama by Engin Kayral
DIORAMA
Inspired by a real-time photo, I intended to cre-
didnt need to pay attention to general concepts
of diorama such as perspective, balance and
symmetry. I just had to place the vehicle, fig-
ures and other pieces in the same places as in
the photo. I used 0,3 cm. thickness PVC Foam
in 20x23 cm dimensions for the base. This ma-
terial, also called Dekota, has a hard and robust
structure but can be easily processed and is not
damaged by chemicals used in paints, glues,
washes and other weathering products. I started
to make the floor by drawing the lines between
the concrete blocks , then deepened them with a
thin-tipped screwdriver and deepened more with
and broken parts on the lines to give a worn out
look. I painted with a few shades of gray and tint-
ed with a several washes. I made a darker pin
wash on concrete edges and cracks and to make
them apparent and added oil stains on the floor.
I assembled diorama components and blue pipes
on the floor by PA glue and matt medium. I fin-
ished my work by applying some shades in earth
tone pastel chalks.
CONCLUSION
Every step of this built was individually chal-
lenging but enjoyable for me. I indeed got quite
a knowledge on diesel engines. I almost learned
the whole interior of ACV-15 as good as my own
car so I will be more conscious and delighted on
examining the ACV-15 on the next ACV exhibi-
tions and demos at FNSS events. I had the plea-
sure of both materializing a self-desired project
and building a kit almost from scratch.
See you on next dioramas.

1/35 lek Scale Model by AYHAN TOPLU
As my model would present a vehicle taking part
in urban warfare, I added wire mesh used as slat
armor which appeared on the vehicles that Ive
seen on the reference photos. Probably, during
the initial phases of the operations, such field
modifications were made unofficially on individ-
ual vehicles by the operating troops for defense
against RPGs. The references show that wire
mesh or wooden fence or simply what is useful
at hand were put in use and attached on the sides
irregularly. It is possible to find dozens of refer-
ences on Google for these modified vehicles. I
used ABERs photoetch mesh set because it fitted
perfectly for this scale. I built the frames for the
mesh from Evergreen styrene parts. As the actual
modification is quite simple, it did not take a long
time to scratchbuilt the conversion. (2)
After adding the mesh, I wanted to enrich the
appearance of my built. The references relieved
that vehicle crew tended to place a great sum of
sandbags on the front of their vehicles for further
protection, therefore I wanted to simulate this
feature on my model. I used Tamiyas epoxy putty
for building the sandbags and placed them on the
front of the vehicle. I also used some rope which
would fit to scale, to tie them down to the plate.
Finally, I flattened a thin layer of putty dough
which would simulate the Turkish flag after being
painted, I also placed it on the front of the vehicle.
After a day of curing, this material becomes rock
hard and may be moved apart to be painted. (3)

PAINTING
After the construction is finally over, the painting
which is the real fun had started. As there are
many additions to the basic model, I applied a
base color of black with Tamiya X-1 Black. (4)
Than I sprayed an overall green with Tamiyas XF-
67 NATO Green. The black base helped to simu-
late the dark shadows. (5)
After spraying the main color, I toned the model
to break the monotonous appearance. For that I
used Gunze Sangyo H74 sky. (6)
After this stage I begun to apply the camouflage
colors.(7)
Finally I brush painted the gear and other small
details on the model. As the painting is done, I
sealed the paint on the model by spraying gloss
varnish over all. To say the truth, there were not
much decals to apply on the vehicle. For stencil-
ing and for the crescent and star on the Turkish
flag, I use the excess decals from my spares. As
I had already fixed the flag on the vehicle and
painted it red, I only placed the crescent and the
star at their proper positions. (8)

After the decals are applied, I sealed them with

9 another coat of gloss varnish. This second coat
also acted as a base for the weathering to be
done with oil paints. Next I did some dot filtering.
I randomly placed dots of Buff on surfaces on the
model and then I dispersed the dots on to the sur-
face with the help of a hard tipped brush. (9)

I finalized the weathering process after applying

pin washes and finally sprayed matt varnish for
the finish. The surface was ready for the applica-
tion of pigments. (10)

After attaching the other parts on the model

which were previously painted, all was done.
