Introducing the JGSDF Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicle, a robust and versatile four-wheel drive armored vehicle. Originally designed by Australian Defence Industries (ADI) and currently produced by Thales Australia, the Bushmaster has gained popularity worldwide and is utilized by various armed forces including the Australian Army, Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Netherlands Army, British Army, Japan Ground Self Defense Force, Indonesian Army, Fiji Infantry Regiment, Jamaica Defence Force, New Zealand Army, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Bushmaster was specifically engineered to excel in the transportation of infantry while providing comprehensive protection against small arms fire. Its primary function is to safely transport troops who then dismount before engaging in action. Originally classified as an infantry mobility vehicle (IMV) to differentiate it from heavier armored personnel carriers like the ASLAV and M113 used by the Australian Army, it was later reclassified as a "Protected Mobility Vehicle" (PMV) due to its superior ballistic and IED protection offered by the high-hardness steel used in its construction, surpassing the aluminum alloys of its counterparts. Embracing the Australian Army's tradition of naming infantry vehicles after reptiles, the Bushmaster earned its moniker inspired by the bushmaster snakes belonging to the Lachesis genus. This naming convention adds a touch of uniqueness to the vehicle, connecting it with its Australian origins. Experience the reliability and exceptional mobility of the JGSDF Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicle with this finely crafted 1:72 scale diecast model. Perfect for military enthusiasts and collectors, this replica showcases the distinctive features of the Bushmaster and pays homage to its role in enhancing the operational capabilities of armed forces worldwide.
