I'm looking for a EE-9 Cascavel kit. I stood on a few in Iraq and thought it would make a nice build. Anybody out there seen this in any scale? I'm trying to avoid resin, but if it's all that's available it will do. Thanks!

I think you have to go for a resin version. I have never seen one in styrene.

I was afraid of that. I've not worked with resin alot and fear busting the pieces. Guess I'll just have to take care. Thanks!!

Hi Michael,

No styrene available, unfortunately.

In fact, this is one of the most wanted brazilian armor kits and no company is still interested to make it injected. Let´s see if Trumpeter, with it´s sometimes exotic armors, keep the production line of brazilian armor. They aready have the Osorio. Now, would be nice the Cascavel, Urutu etc etc.

Marelo,
I agree. U.S., Brutish and German armour has been done to death. I'd like to see something different, a but more exotic and the Brazilian armour fits the bill.

Here a interesting pic of iraqi Cascavel.

Very nice! Thank you!! I have a few pics myself where I'm standing on them at the "boneyard" at the Taji Airfield just northwest of Baghdad. At first I was confused because the only pics I saw of the Cascavel had what appeared to be a drivers hatch on the glacis. The ones I stood on and saw didn't have that feature. I suppose the ones with the hatch were early models. Do you know of a company that sells the Cascavel kit? Erik gave me one site. I was hoping there would be more.

Hi Michael!

Nice! Could you share your pics with us? I´d like to see them! And so, I´ll be able to tell you about the feature you told.

The Cascavel resin kit is produced and sold by Electric Products - [email protected]

I don´t know about the availability of the kit nowadays, but you can try.

Here another pic:

Bye!

Here are my Cascavel Pages at WarWheels that should help you differentiate between the early and late models.
