Aloha Everyone!!
Does anyone happen to know if Trumpeter is rumored to continue the LAV series of vehicles to include the ASLAV variants? Or even more adventuresome Canadian variants?
Thank you in advance!!!

Not sure about Trumpeter but AEF Designs does produce the resin body shells of Canadian LAV III and Bison among others. They may be a good bet or even the folks at Mouse House in Australia may eventually produce something. Cheers!

Trumpeter released some photos and box art of a "prototype" ASLAV Type 1 Phase 2 kit last July....I think there was some copyright issues with where some of the parts came from for their mock up....i.e Mouse House resin parts.
Hopefully Trumpeter will follow up and come out with an ASLAV kit in the future.

They were sent to a distributor by Trumpeter and eventually I got my hands on them and was granted permission to post them for a short while......they were eventually taken down by me.....there is no images posted anywhere currently as far as I know.
