I'm planning a diorama on this base :

I allready have a M1114 with crows and would like to add a bigger vehicle.
I was thinking about a buffalo 6x6 or a M1A2 SEP Abrams TUSK II.
But would they match together?
Any other idea?

Salut Raphael,

the Buffalo MPCV is intented for route clearing, I hardly believ that thhey wouild be used for checkpoint duties. In my view, an M1 A1/A2 or Bradley would be better suited for a checkpoint scene.

Hell, I'd just add an M1151 and make it a two vehicle SF patrol.

Hmmm...
Maybe the Buffalo MPCV and the RG-31 would make a suitable Route Clearing Package.

Speaking of route clearing vehicles, be prepared to be happy this year.

The buffalo would be coming to a checkpoint if they found an IED

Yeah Frank, this is what is on my mind ! Buffalo with EOD controller and robot, and the M1114 (whose crew members found the EOD) in this sreet.

And which one to choose?
