I wrote this some time ago, and I know there isn't a model kit of the Lenco Bearcat. Still, if anyone is interested in that vehicle, here is some info...

Cool article, Peter.

I've never heard of it before, but it does bear a resemblance to a modernized Humber Pig, which was used for much the same duty 40-50 years ago.

It would make a cool model, to be sure.

Thanks. Too bad I cannot edit the article as I would have added some photos to it and additional information. Oh, well...

Well, you could load it up herre on Armorama as an article and add all the photos you like. Or over on Track Link, same thing.
