Looks cool for sure,but we need a Mk 5e the more commonly seen version of the RG-31 in american service. That and a Cougar JERRV, really hope someone does one of those bad boys soon.

And once again, if you need the best walkaround available, PM me. Comes with both versions of the RG-31. For this one, the walkaround shows differnnt modes, such as additional armor plating, Gyrocam, debris blower, and of course, underside detailing.

These must be the plans of the release mentioned here: http://www.cybermodeler.com/special/2012_armor_scale.shtml with number #61015. The RG-31 Mk5 of US ARMY. Not bad addition but for sure an RG-31 Mk5E would be more welcome!
So we have:
#61010 RG-31 Mk3 Canadian Version
#61011 4x4 MRAP MAXXPRO
#61012 RG-31 Mk3 US ARMY
#61013 RG-33L MRAP (2014)
#61015 RG-31 Mk5 US ARMY
Let's hope for an RG-31Mk5E for the missing article number #61014!!!!!!!

Good news! The more modern vehicles the merrier

Looking at that list list Aristeidis linked to, 2014 will be bringing a lot of cool stuff. That SA-8 Gecko is a definite must-have!

Speaking of Kinetic's RG-31s, I find it odd that there isn't any aftermarket out there at all for it.





HOLY CRAP! I can't even make a KIT look like that!!

Oh, man you guys must be able to hear my wallet screaming from where you are... anybody interested in some slightly used body parts? LOL. More to add to the list.
