Dragon 7318 AAV 7A-1 Miclic (1/72) – plastic model kit

The presented Dragon 7318 AAV 7A-1 Miclic in 1/72 scale is a faithfully reproduced plastic model kit of the American armored vehicle used on the battlefield by the United States Marine Corps. This model, produced by the renowned company Dragon, is a unique offering for enthusiasts of modern military technology and collectors of combat engineering vehicles.

The AAV 7A-1 MICLIC (Amphibious Assault Vehicle 7A1 – Mine Clearing Line Charge) is a specialized version of the amphibious armored personnel carrier, adapted for rapid breaching of both conventional and improvised minefields. The combination of armor, tracked drive, and the MICLIC system (an explosive charge deployed on a line) makes this vehicle a crucial support element during offensive and amphibious operations. The AAV 7A-1 has been used since the 1980s, primarily by US forces—especially the Marine Corps—during numerous operations worldwide, from the Cold War era and the Gulf War to more recent missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Dragon 7318 model is made of high-quality plastic and features excellent detail reproduction, typical of this brand. It accurately recreates the distinctive silhouette of the vehicle along with the MICLIC engineering equipment, including the clearly marked mine-clearing charge launching system. The designers ensured rich detailing of the external elements and precise dimensions, making the model very realistic in this popular 1/72 scale. The kit does not include glue or paints, which are necessary to complete an attractive model—allowing for your own personalization of the final effects.
