You could always consider this kit:
For those allies south of the 49th parrallel and the Great lakes, you may not have gotten the word that both Maple Leaf Models and Trackjam Models are offering a 10% discount to those registered for this build.

Howdy Paul,
Thanks for the suggestion, and doubly thanks for extending your kind 10% off offer to those of us here at Armorama who can participate in this upcoming Campaign!
(the link to Armorama was nice too... )
But....maybe it's my failing but I cannot find the kit / conversion pictured on your site. I looked all over, but maybe my eyesight is failing me...........maybe you could EDIT a link in your post somewhere?
Just tryin' ta help.

Uh, OK.
I enlisted soon after the Campaign was announced, but I'm still not sure what I'll build. We had a member of KC AMPS pass away last month and we're having a kit auction next week ... maybe I can find something there.
If not, maybe I'll build an Italeri CMP truck -- I've had a couple gathering dust on the shelves for years (think I paid $5 for one and $1 for the other).

No, but I've worked for a lot of guys who were. I've been a leg my whole career, so far.

Crossing the startline early is not a good thing for a Patricia (Royals are excused this as they don't know any better :-) )[just kidding Bryan]
Leo's looking good. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Dave,
A good Patricia knows to camoflage his preparation until the all clear's sounded! That turret armour was a bugger.

Going with the Hobbyfan Lynx I have I think since Osprey features one on the cover of the new M113 Modeling series book that I pre-ordered. As soon as my son's Pinewood Derbie car is done this weekend I am good to go.
If I get that done early enough I might tackle a second or even third build since I have an entire shelf full of Canadian projects from a Firefly to a Centurion Mk 11.
Bob K if you want to talk about Canuck armor I am close by (planning to attend the KCamps meeting this week coming up work permitting).
ps. I think Canada evaluated the 4, 6, and 8 wheeled Mowags back in the 70s and decided to go with the 6 wheeled versions. I seem to recall articles in the Sentinel back then talking about it. GM later on built the 8 wheeled and sold it to the USMC. it grew from there.

Rob -- sounds good. Check your PMs for info on the meeting.
