Good addiction!
I really hope that a m1116 and USMC Turret and Armor package will be released.
I wouldn't be so difficult to do such things...it's also a bit strange that no Am productors haven't touched this area.

Didn't find any photos of the kit, yet.
But here is one of a CROWS on M1114. Anyway I have no idea which version is this:

Dimitar if I stay correct this is a Crow I(1st version),generally Xm153 CrowsII is installed over m1151,I've somewhere some pictures of m1114+crowsII
I assume that a Crow I is more appropriate for the m1114...but I really don't want to tone down this release,it adds a new kit of modern era so I'm happy,I love the efforts of Bronco and I hope that they'll go along this way for other subjects!

Cheers

Looks nice. I also agree though, the CROWS II is more appropriate on an M1151. The CROWS I, M151 Protector (same as on the Stryker), was used more commonly on M1114s.

Could be very nice if Bronco sells some seperate Crow2 sets for upgrading Buffalo, M1151 and M-ATAV!!!

The first CROWS turret, the ROI Raven R-400, was designated XM101 and is different from the M151 and XM153 series. The M151 and XM153 CROWS II are both variants of the Protector RWS from Kongsberg.

We just have M151 in resin from Blast models,it's a great little kit.
I also think that if it will be available as a separate kit it could be very intersting.
Maybe Bronco has on the bench a thing like this but I really hope that they release other versions.

OK, either way, the CROWS II is not really appropriate on an M1114.

Unfortunately you're right.
But I think that in Osprey book dedicated to SOF vehicles was published a photo of a SOF M1114 with CROWS II. I could be wrong, though.

This is the only M1114 with CROWS II picture that i've found ^^

(PS : murphy's law, but i was wrong ...

Yeah...there are for sure M1114 with CROWII but I think it's only in a relatively short timeframe.For sure they were on the field.
It would be useful to know who used them and where, to do a specific research....

You're right - but knowing they exist is all the excuse I need to buy the kit
