Nice to see more Canadian armour!
I'm sure the experts will pick it apart, heck even I see a few issues, but kudos to Trumpy for even willing to offer kits of these boats.
cheers
One of the serious problems in planning against Canadian doctrine is that the Canadians do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine.

Saw these vehicles with the Canucks at the stadium in Kigala, Rwanda, September 1994 ... they were good guys.
I had been toying in the ensuing decades about getting an almost useless Italeri LAV and cutting it up to build one ... now I'll probably build one of the these OOB and paint it white.

The obvious one is the semi-circular blast guard on the engine deck, carried over from the Cougar. Grizzlies didn't have them. Also weird barrels on the turret guns, and the rear hatch locking plate just above the rear doors which was a refurb feature I believe.

Are the vehicles used in Afghanistan or is this another KOSOVO/Bosnia vehicle

Just too bad its been pushed back to an October release here in NA, rather than the original August release, and seeing as they have one of the kits finished for photos like this makes me wonder why they would push it back 2 months as it is obviously close to being ready.
Thanks!
