After several years of searching I found a few more photos of this vehicle. So far no drawings. There were only six ever built and they were taken out of service about 1988 and were not replaced. The APCs were reconfigured to a standard APC and all have subsequently been scrapped. One example of the radar is in the RCA Museum in Shilo.

VERY nice Paul, thanks for those photos. I'm working on a number of 113 varients right now, but that one is really special. It would make a really nice project. GROG

Interesting. That is one ugly radar and I've never seen a camo scheme like before on a Canadian vehicle.
