Hello all CDN Army fans,
I also buy new TUA from Trumpeter. As I write on another blog, model have many errors but this is rebuild is no big problem.
I choose version without Add-on Armor. (Correct- my RM is also w/add-on armor) on fist two photos is red point no correct positions, blue is correct positions(approximately) I now cut all Add-on Armor off the hull.
Hope you like it and "watch those negative waves"

I'm going to be watching this one closely.
How do you plan on removing the add on armour?
Why plan when you can react?

Hi Nick,
I received first test PE set for TFSS. Now I add to mould parts for MPK and TFSS. I think that still 10-14day.

Hi all,
After long pause next photos.
First is compare suspension and steering Trumpeter and AVF Club. On first look all see no correct Trumpeters suspension and steering.
Next photo: TUA without Add-armor. This is base for next build. I use PE set from my TUA.

Good job, are you going to sell the un armoured upper hull seperately?
cheers
One of the serious problems in planning against Canadian doctrine is that the Canadians do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine.

Wow, theres not much of the Trumpeter kit left-just a box! Look forward to seeing what you do with this. Despite the problems though I do feel that Trumpeter should be partially praised for coming out with a Canadian subject, and im sure such a cool looking vehicle will be very popular with younger modellers and beginners.
