Annual model show this weekend. While looking through the vendors offerings I spied a 1/35th Chapparal kit by AFV. Never knew a kit had been made for it. As I collect AA vehicles this was a must have. He wanted $40 all I had was 34 cash left ...so he said OK, and now its in the stash. Also picked up an early dragon PZ IVJ for $20. They (Squadron) were selling the atomic cannon for $25 and I seriouly considered picking it up...but outa cash so maybe later.

You seems to be a lucky and happy modeler.
The Chaparral came at the same period as the M548 cargo carrier.

The kit is quite good with an interior fro the "gunner". The missile assembly can be presented ready to fire or in the transport position. If my memory serves, the fit is good so you should enjoy the build

IIRC the Chaperall was the first kit AFV released it came with a sticker AFV club the 548 followed the only let down was it was a soft top and all ours in OP Granby were hard hats for Rapier I still have the first one in the loft
