Over at the Ottawa IPMS site under the "Capcon" photos there is a picture of a Canadian Faun with 2 M113s on the flatdeck, anyone know anything about this? who is the modeler? Can he/she share the information about this vehicle.
Thanks in advance

Check this link. http://www.network54.com/Forum/169232/message/1101256754/

It shows some good pics of the CDN Faun and CDN style trailer.The model you are looking at has the wrong trailer.It is the German trailer ours has 8 large tires.

Email me and I can send you some more pics of the real thing if you like.

Jim

Just to add the Trump. kit is not the exact same as the CDN vehicle.

The first M113 on the trailer looks like a "what if" M113 close support version with a 25 mm turret.

Might have the availability of the trailer wheels solved soon, courtesy of a certain Canadian company that makes canadian armour conversions . Now if some other photos would surface showing a little more detail of the front lower part of the trailer.

Cheers,

Thanks Jim, would there be a ETA of the said wheels from that certain company that makes Canadian armour accessories?
Curious...as if I don't have enough to do...
Thanks
Pete
