The refit involves stripping the existing cars down to the hull and building from scratch nearly."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

Folks,
For those of us who have IKON. It's all there.
For those who don't, sorry but the exact details are not for public discussion just yet.However lets just say that with the upgrade the only original parts will be the hulls.
The new,old, cars will be a massive improvement and will greatly enhance the situational awareness and force protection of the crews and dismounts"Let us be clear about three facts.
