There is no "set price " on this conversion set yet. The models displayed in the pics are for a commisioned job to the company involved with this particular AFV.
In talks with NWM, it was found to be more feasible to release a conversion rather than the whole kit (which I hope will be released anyways) for the Trump kit. The possibility of releasing this set has been in talks for a few weeks, but the issue of price had never come up, or we were just too busy figuring on when/how to release this set.
Hopefully, Chris Mrosko, owner of NWM will chime in with an update.

I have no vested interest in the company, just a good friend to the owner.

Pics of the "Knight" are hard to come by for some weird reason (or my search skills plainly suck). This variant is produced in extremely low numbers, nowhere near that of the M1117.

M1200
M1200 armored knight vehicles

Hey Cavey-wavy, if you're going to scratchbuild it, do it as an ACUTR Again build and get a campaign ribbon to boot! I'd love to see the build-up, as I'm sure the scratchers already involved in ACUTR would too! Cool!

In order to properly build an M1200, the turret set up is similar to what you may see on an M1131 Stryker (less the observation ports). Also, there are conduit lines on top the rear hull and mounting points that have to be added as they do not lie flat on the hull top. You will also have to remove anti skid on the top of the kit where the mounting points and antennas go. I will post pics here in the near future of the M1200 conversion and all its components as I've finally received my two sets. They need to be primed first as to make it easier to see in photographs.

I saw on the AMPS site that NWM will have a table at the show. Will you be selling the M1200 at that time?
