Nice work. This would make a great present to some of the EOD guys in my AIT company. Can't wait to see your production version available.

I've been following this build with you here.
Can you show the front suspension and how you articulated the front steering, please?

Haha....so does a double decker bus.
It is designed to deflect blasts from IEDs and mines....that is why the hull is "V" shaped and the suspension is so high.....it was designed to save lives.

Great build so far!! Wish I could get one but I do not have that kind of money. I worked with these vehicles for three years at the training center for US Army, Marines and Canadian forces. No two buffalo's look the same. The first group the US bought where made one at a time and no two parts fit the same.
Hopefully a plastic version will come out.

Some photos Interior before paint. In interior missing steering, this I make of all new.
Interior resume:
Absolutely different interior as real vehicle, without details. Only seat is good but also without details.

Hi Miloslav. You are an exceptional modeller. Eventhough I have no interest or even know what this is, I love your in-progress shots, and what youŽve done so far. Looking forward to see the interior painted.
IŽd be very dissapointed to buy a kit at $230 to find mistakes as obvious as the wheels. Nice catch.

Nice work with the interior.
As it has been said, $230.00 with these issues, not sure about getting this one.

Very nice indeed. It is nice to see you having fun and modelling. I know you must really like your day job but it's great to see you modelling for your own enjoyment too.
What are the orange tanks?

I was wondering if you'd do the fire suppression system - it looks great. Are you going to put the mine roller on it?

I don't think the Canadian Buffalo uses the mine roller.

Nice work on the details and paint.
Canada did not purchase the mine roller kit for the Buffalo.
