Fellas, my google has failed. I'm looking for the significance of this pennant stenciled on a the turret bin of a Canadian Centurion tank. Timeframe c1966 may put it as a LdSH(RC) tank supporting 2 Div (UK), BAOR, although it may be a 4 CMBG tank if the NDIL info inaccurate. Considering WW2...

I'm neck deep in EC and have hit a wall with a reorg project. I have Guardian O&E access. Trying to change Pte/Avr ranks to NCM. There's no option in the drop down job code or rank fields to do this. I can change a Cpl to a MWO no problem, but when it comes to Pte to Cpl I am stumped...

LAV-III ADV of 128 Air Defence Battery equipped with quad plasma cannons in the 40 megawatt range...

Looks pretty close to the ones we first had in Afg?

I think this is close the some of the early ones we had in Afg? I think I'll get one, and raise the roof line to make it like one of the Ambulances that went to Kabul.

From Hobbyboss:

From Legend Productions. Resin conversion for Academy M-113 kit. We'll need to get the Diehl tracks from HKCW or AFV Club, but otherwise, it looks really good:

1/35 ADATS conversion for Academy M-113 kit. Resin & photo-etch by Legends.

From Takom, out in Jan 2014.

Ordered 2 and they got to my door in 12 days, no tax/duty either. Neat little kit. If you are considering getting  into Canadian AFV modelling, this is a very good deal and good beginner kit: http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=TP01504

Good news for the Gunners, new tool M-109 on the way from AFV Club:

Box art out now. Not sure if it will have (or require) additional parts to make a Canadian version.

This model depicts the Centurion Air Defence version used for integral AD by the RCD's while they were in Germany as part of 4 CMBG. Each Armd Regt was equipped with one Sqn of AD with 16 gun systems in a Sqn. Purchased in conjuction with the Centurion MBT, the "Twin Forty" also went through...

I've been wanting to build something from the Korean War for some time, and found a grainy  B&W photo of BGen Rockingham's tactical CP (?) from Korea. I had the Tamiya M8 kit handy, so with one photo, I decided to try this conversion. Of course, once I had it painted, a friend provided me about...

Picked up the Trumpeter Cougar from the local shop last week. Looks pretty good! Looks to be the first upgrade version; still has skinny tires and turret box instead of basket, but marine drive covers are installed and the dual shocks are there, so figure its accurate for a 1987-1994 +/-...

Available from Y-Modelle out of Germany. Kit is designed for the 1/35 Hobbyboss Leopard 2A4 kit. This one does not have the barracuda cam net, so I don't think it can depict an in-service tank. http://shop.y-modelle.de/umbausatz-leopard-2-a4m-canada-p-438.html Price is around 41 Euros with...

Here's the Trumpeter kit. I reckon I am 4-5 hours into it so far. The plan is to build it straight from the box, with no additional after-market parts or scratch building. Kit includes some PE POL/H2O can holders. The fit is not great as the joining edge does not take into account the stepped...

Wow, good times to be a modeller of Canadian AFV's. Looks like Trumpeter had the test shots of the Grizzly and the Cougar at the Tokyo. Grizz appears to be final production variant (no marine drive, Bison mirrors), while the Cougar looks to be early (marine drive, coofin box instead of turret...

Coming soon from Real Models. Also, detail set for the Trumpeter LAV-III:
