I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! A pinwash, dullcoat, optics and some pigments on the turret and it's pretty much done. I wish MLM was back online to get some modern Canadian stowage. Jason, thanks for your direction. The jerry cans were removed and the kit etch holders put in place. The gun camera housing is still in place as I did not want to destroy any of the turret detail already in place.Oh well, I will not make the same mistake twice when I build the Coyote with blast shields.

Hi guys, I've finished the Coyote build. It is a great conversion kit by Real Model and I really enjoyed building it. Looking forward to doing the LAV 3 model now. Cheers, Jeff. Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket] Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket

Jeff,
Really nice job. Im a Canuk fan too, and you did an outstanding job. Kudos on the paint finish and weathered dusty appearance. How does the Real Models Conv. compare to the Trumpeter base Kit?. Its hard to tell whats Trumpeter & Real models pieces. The finished product came out well. Way to Go !!!!

Thanks Calvin. The MIG pigments were stipled into the recessed areas with an old hard brush with the bristles cut short. Then I brush over the area with a large round sable brush to remove the lose pigment. Cheers, Jeff.

Thanks Todd. The only donor kit parts were the lower hull and running gear ( not the wheels) and some lifting lugs/ tow shackles. The bulk of the model is the Real Model conversion, it is a lot of resin and etch! Jeff.

Thanks everyone for the responses, I appreciate it. Anton, the Canadian plates were lifted from Hobby Fan AVGP Cougar kit. Now I have to find more! Cheers, Jeff.

Very well done on the ole' Yote. However, the CFR plate should read 316** or 317**. The 316 which were Command and Mast versions which were the first off the line with 317 versions were the later versions being Battle Group ones with the tri pods fro the Surv Kit.

Ole ' Yote Guy.
