I think we were still using Mk 6 Cents in 1965? There is a decent kit of the Mk 6 here, which actually includes the parts to make it a later Mk 11 if you want. http://store.spruebrothers.com/135-afv-club-centurion-mk-52-6-nato-105mm-gun-35122-p7248.aspx Interestingly about the FGH was they...

Hello, I'm wondering if some RCMP member might have access to the TAVII & would be willing to provide some digital photos? Generally, I am looking for pics of the mods done and 'walk-arounds' of the vehicle. Technical / Tactical info appreciated, but understood if opsec prevents its release...

Looks like the Hobbyboss kit will be out soon, around August. http://www.hobbyboss.com/82458.html Looks like everything we need to make the Cdn version is in the box - slat armour, Cdn markings, GPMG, "T" Antenna mounts. No word on a price, but previous iterations of their Leopards (2A4...

Heard that the OPP confiscated a large number of balloons filled with liquid feces. That's just nasty.

No, its the one with sharks with fricken laser beams on their heads!  ;D The TUA looks good too, but they moulded it with the extra armour bolted on. Not sure if LAV-TUA ever wore that armour? I've been working with them on a BISON. They have just done an ASLAV-PC, so I would think their BISON...

Quite right. The original box art had the name Kodiak on it, but before the artwork went to press, the company changed it to LAV-III. Nice to see a company that listens to constructive criticism, though the "Kodiak" reference may not be completely removed from the instructions sheets etc.

Nice to see. Should be out in July, between $40-$50. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10115051 http://www.1999.co.jp/itbig11/10115051a.jpg

Small update & some shameful self promotion; I just got my first magazine cover: :D Issue 207, should be out next week.

Upcoming release from Trumpeter. Pity they moulded the applique armour on the TUA version - as far as I am aware, the TUA has not been fitted with the armour package. Maybe the guys at Trumpeter models are predicting we'll send TUA to Afghanistan? Augment Coyotes in the surveillance role...

wow, I just checked the price on the Walthers site...you train guys get raped! I thought 1/35th scale was getting expensive, but $60 for an HO scale AFV is some serious coin.

Hi Stuart, I would go for the LAV C2 sold by trident in place of the Stryker. IMO it looks more like a Bison than the Stryker, though neither has the near vertical side/rear hull of the Bison. Plus, the LAV C2 it looks to be about 1/4 the price of the Stryker

Ah, gotcha. I don't think there is a Husky, but you can get a Buffalo. I've seen it built up and it is a beautiful kit, but hugely expensive: http://www.vajraminiature.com/PRODUCT/35001.html

Hi Dan, I did try to match the paints colours used for that era (1-GP-12c: 501-102 for the upper and 501-105 for the lower). I like to use Gunze acrylic paints, and in that range I found Extra Dark Sea Grey and Dark Sea Grey to be pretty close.

Here's my RCN Skyraider in 1/48 Scale. It's my first aircraft model in over a decade, and I decided to go with a 'what-if' scenario. I figured that the RCN could have operated Spad in the fighter role in place of the Sea Fury, and in the ASW/AEW role much the same as the Avenger. I painted this...

Hey GDawg, I have about 300 photos of the HUSKY, skinny wheel and fat wheel eras. What is an MDT? I can email you the pics...except Trumpeter has listed a HUSKY as a future release. I'm waiting to see what theirs looks like before I scratch one.

You can get a pretty accurate Canadian M113 with a few aftermarket sets. For the base kit, I would use the <a href="http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/aca/kit_aca_13211.shtml">Academy M113A3 kit</a> And add to that a set of <a href="http://www.trackjam.com/hkcw/hkcwm113.htm">Diehl...

Yep - Resicast sold their molds to Elite. From what I gather, the Elite kits have the VW logo moulded on the grille, whereas the now out-of-production Resicast kit gave you an etched brass VW or Bombardier logo.

Small world eh? If it is the same fella we are talking about (ex-LdSH, now SALH), his tank & troop will also be featured in a photo book from the company Real Model
