Wow, that looks really nice to have even if you don't own a C2!

I especially like the Cdn MRE boxes with the rat packs inside and the separate meals plus the fill case of water.

I wonder where the "Tortierre and Poutine" meal bag is?? Probably after the Lobster n' Chips bag but before the Sockeye Salmon and Moose bisque...

That triangle shaped box couldn't be a 40 pack of Timbits could it??? Where's the large double-double?

It's tourtiere just to have your fact right lol, you may see some strange characters if you do not have the CF keyboard, after the letter "i" it's the letter "e" with a small bar that's going top left. And I can make you a really good one if you are in my region one day.

Matija or Mario, Matija, when you say:

most of the items are generic and useful for any kit
does it mean it could be fine for my Leo 2A6M by Hobby Boss #82458?

Being from Newfoundland, I've never had tourtiere (with or without the accent symbol), so if I'm in ever your region of Quebec, I may just take you up on it! Where are you near?

The items themselves are all generic and you can put them on anything you like,. I think the main restrictions are that the large rolled stowage has tiedown straps that, I think, Match the loops on the C2 and not necessarily the 2A6.

The plastic jerrycans and racks are generic, so if you have a photo of a 2A6 or 2A4 with the cans, these parts will do fine. The jackets, rucksacks and all the boxes just need a place to fit on any Canadian Forces vehicle to be acceptable. You can put them on the floor of the new RG-31 kit if you like. I think the folded frames are camp cots and again, as long as the strap locations match you can use them anywhere.

@ubisuck - yes, i see no reason it wouldn`t go with HobbyBoss kit(apart from the rolled up tarp premade to fit the C2 rack,and the Jerrycans i`m not sure,my guess is not as its cast with straps)

A little update- the nice little rolled up tarp( which fits perfectly) designated to go on the left rear bin is sadly only usable without the ECM shield installed,its too long.
