I'll be ordering those once I get near the painting stage, but with my brief stay at home I won't be able to get anywhere near it I believe.

CHOICE BRO!! That's awesome, when I was in New Zealand in 2005 all the Aussies said "Choice" ... ALL THE TIME!!!!.... some kind of slang.... I think it's equivalent to the term "Clutch", like "that was clutch" in North America.

Great work Jason! And thanks for pointing out the anomalies in vehicle names versus C/S. I'll have to watch out for that in the future. Cheers!

Yes, is there any release date???

That wasn't in the 2010-2011 Trumpeter catelogue.... Does that mean it's a 2012 release or a "secret item"??

Don't tease....

Trumpeter is definitely a top company that I love. The input they get from the consumer turns into a product. I can't wait for this one either.

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery I guess. It is actually thanks to John at Mouse House and Jason at Arms Corps Models that my ASLAV turned out so well. They researched and fabricated masters, made molds, modified those and did it again until they got it right. On top of that they provide free counselling, image sources and reference information, thanks guys. The only things I did different was the X antenna, the RWS ammo bins and the generator.

iamsu7 - Since it'll be a 2011 release, is Trumpeter open to hear consumer feedback? Similarily to your attempt with the ASLAV-25 kit? It appears as though we have more time with this particular kit to address any questions, concerns or inaccuracies that may exist. Are there additional photos for review and feedback?

Bill - you're too modest! You're build was amazing, you definately belong up there with Jason and John for your combined work on this subject!

Cheers mate!

No can do Sam, my spring break has come to an end unfortunately. I have put off writing two lab reports until today which i must finish tomorrow as well. I won't be starting this thing until mid May, but at that point I will have 3 months ahead of me to start building. Also, this provides me with time to gather a few more resources and execute some planning which I have never done before. Once I get all the facts straight I will be posting them in a build log.

Thanks for everyone's help! This should be interesting to say the least.

Oh.... has anyone heard of any Bar armour upgrade set for the ASLAV 25/PC yet? I love the look of the PCs with the bar armour on the ass end only... I imagine it wouldn't be hard to scratch build (Since it's bar and not slat armour)...



Im working on it.
And for the 25.
