28mm - Resin APC Identified as 'A.T.A.C.' or 'Scarab' by Grenadier/Grendel

Starting with the info I received from Cyborg Trucker (comments on the previous post) the APC has been identified as a model originally made by Grenadier/Fantasy Forge, and re-released by Grendel.

It was originally part of the Grenadier range of science fiction wargame miniatures and vehicles made in white metal and resin. I believe it was part of the Kryomek game. The fantasy side of Grenadier was Fantasy Forge.

It was re-released by Grendel as the "A.T.A.C. APC", with the model/product number F0007. A few modelling and gaming forums have the number as F007, and some call it the Scarab APC, which is a good name for it.


^ F007 Scarab APC - according to Chronofus. Note that the hull is in more pieces than the model I own. It looks like this one has an upper and lower hull, plus a separate 'front bumper'. Possibly the model in this picture was 'reverse engineered' from an older version. This photo also shows the moulded tow rope that I clipped off my model.
