I have heard that they are done but that Trackjam Models is going to be taking over the moulds and production. Just sent them an email directly so will let you know what I hear back. Cheers.

My understanding is that he has moved and has not gotten setup again as of yet because he is busy with a new job. Trackjam and maple leaf are entering into a collaboration to produce an up armoured canadian leopard the MEXAS. If that one does well then others may follow depending on demand. Thats the scuttle butt that I have picked up from the forum. Others maybe able to offer more detail but I haven`t seen anything else lately

Sounds like you emailed Ken Leclair who has created modern Canadian AFV DVDs and not JP Morgan the owner of Maple Leaf Models.

Jason;
yes emailed Ken, as I was under the understanding that Trackjam would be producing that set and that MLM was going to be working with them. Just cant remember where I heard that though. . . .

If you do hear of this going to press, let me know as I think I am getting keen on doing a C2 Mexas. Cheers.

thanks for posting that link, but JB was getting some extra ribbing from me as I had just been pestering him to enlighten me on the particulars of the C1 and C2 as he is the Yoda to my Jar Jar Binks on this matter. Let's all hope that the MLM and Trackjam alliance works out and we see the C2 conversion soon. Cheers to all.
