I recently picked up Echelon's Homeless space invaders decals at the urging of my daughter and was looking for some ideas for using them. I did manage to find a picture of a Bushmaster, but not much else. Any ideas or pictures? Thanks

That must be the one that the Real Model LAV conversion is based on. Thanks for reminding me- I might have those pictures at home

No 1/35th scale plastic kit for the Dingo, only a diecast model (from Y-Serie) :

I've got one of a HEMMT wrecker that our mechanics put the logo on. I'll post pics later.

@ Jason

Upgrading the Dingo is a little bit tricky, the metal is very hard to work with. Fortunatly, the weapons station is plastic.

@ Frenchy

The Y-Serie Mungo is scheduled for "the second half of 2012"

@ Frenchy,

yes preorder only, the Y-Serie representative told me in Nuremberg that they have problems with their casting company.

@ Jason,

the trucks in the mid-pics on ML are GFF YAK (Yak= the Beast of Burden from the Himalaya). It`s a German version of the MOWAG DURO truck. It`s mid-sized MRAP used as an ambulance or a control station for LUNA UAV.
