Has anyone heard of what became of Fireforce Products? I built the Ratel 90 quite a few years ago and I know there was other kits( Ratel mortar carrier,Rhodesian Crocodile are a couple that I remember.I believe the original molds were sold.Anyone heard of any plans for this type of armor? Maybe someone has a old kit willing to part with?I think it would be a great subject for Bronco or Hobbyboss to consider,espiecially with all the wild looking bush vehicles that were used during that period and even up until now.

Baxmod makes a nice Ratel. I have one as well as their Casspir and Oliphant Mk. 1 conversion
