First created in the 1960s to handle riot control, American SWAT (Special Weapons And Tactics) units have evolved to protect against acts of terrorism, in hostage situations and in actions against organised drug cartels. Revell’s detailed model is of a SWAT team leader and features modern combat body armour and helmet, automatic rifle with site and flashlight, holstered pistol and personal communications equipment. A display stand with four different surface inserts is included.
