I just saw a picture of a M9 ACE in the September 22 issue of ENR. It is a armored combat earthmover built by BMY Combat Systems. Can do 30 MPH, be transported in a C-130 and has a unique suspension system that allows the front to be raised, lowered or tilted for earth moving. Looks really interesting. Any kits out there of this or close to it?

Hobby Fan has a kit of the M9. I don't know about the overall quality, but IIRC it is rather expensive.

I am not sure what you mean by 'Hobby Fan'. Is that a kit seller website? Also 'IIRC', what do you mean by that?

IIRC means If I Recall/Remember Correctly.

Thank you. I am not ready for the challenge (nor price) of resin kits yet. It does look like a very nice kit. Oh, well.
