Border Model BT-011 Kodiak Swiss Series/German Demonstrator AEV-3 Pionierpanzer (2in1) 1/35

The Border Model BT-011 Kodiak Swiss Series/German Demonstrator AEV-3 Pionierpanzer (2in1) in 1/35 scale is an advanced plastic model kit faithfully replicating the contemporary engineering vehicle used by both the Swiss and German armies. This model is intended for enthusiasts seeking an accurate recreation of modern military equipment details, with the option to build one of two vehicle versions: Swiss or German demonstrator.

Kodiak AEV-3 Pionierpanzer is a modern engineering vehicle based on the Leopard 2 tank chassis. It was designed to support armored and infantry units by constructing engineering obstacles, clearing mines, digging positions, or dismantling obstacles during military operations. Switzerland and Germany introduced the Kodiak AEV-3 into service in the 21st century—the initial deployment dates back to the second half of the 2000s—thereby reflecting the latest military technologies (modern era). Practical uses for this vehicle have included participation in NATO exercises and providing support to Allied forces in difficult and urbanized terrain.

• Model scale: 1/35 – guarantees excellent detail and vehicle proportion fidelity
• Countries in use: Switzerland (Swiss Series), Germany (German Demonstrator)
• Period of use: Modern era (since mid-2000s)
• Material: high-quality plastic; kit does not include glue or paints
• Add-ons: photo-etched details (likely included); parts enabling the building of two versions of the vehicle (2in1)
• Category: plastic model kit
• Difficulty level: 4/5 – designed for intermediate to advanced modelers due to complex details and optional elements

Border Model BT-011 stands out with precisely reproduced hull elements, suspension system, and specialized equipment (such as dozer blade, boom, and manipulator arms). Thanks to the use of photo-etched parts, the model achieves exceptional depth of detail—the final result will satisfy even the most demanding military model enthusiasts.

This product is mainly recommended for fans of modern military engineering as well as collectors of Leopard 2-based vehicles. It is an excellent choice for those with basic modeling experience looking to upgrade their skills working with photo-etched parts and complex vehicle equipment. The model works well both as a standalone project and as an eye-catching element of a 21st-century military diorama.
