Interesting! Any pics of this?



Hi Hans-Hermann,
You bet, had a chance to photograph one just before we moved. Although it resembles a LAV-III LORIT at first glance, I'd estimate the hull is about 10% larger all around. It's tall, even for me! Has the new 'W' shaped lower hull.





Cheers,
Jim

FV 432
Abbot (same chasis and running gear as FV432, so if you are doing one ....)

These vehicles, the AML 60 and 90 (even though I'm presently building ADV's resin AML 90) scream to be in plastic! Especially in 1/35 scale!!

Since 1959, the AML has been operated by at least 54 countries (and other entities) at one time or another, on 5 continents, taking part in almost every campaign, civil war, conflict, jungle war, insurgent, police action, riot control, etc., so, the paint schemes, stowage, alterations, decals/markings, etc., are endless! I would even venture to say there are a few left on active duty with a country or two although most have been 'deactivated'.

Quite a few of these jewels are in museums all over the world, so there is no excuse for the kit makers not sending out their engineers and start measuring.

The photos, from top to bottom indicate use by: Lebanon, Djibouti, the Emirates, and finally Chad...in that order...just to tease you a bit and wet the appetite! Talk about having the AM boys having fun: gin up the decal factory along with PE gurus. You could fill a shelf of these cuties that could add up to more than 50 different countries of this vehicle alone!!

Oh yea...this is on my wish/bucket list too...

Zsu 23/4
T54

Mi 28
Ka 50/52
M113's
Some decent UH1's already..
More Brown water navy subjects at least toss us a bone and give us a zodiac boat and motor
New OH 6's and Little Birds, a new -58 too.

And for the love of pete, a freaking DPV already!

Since we are already getting a Trumpeter MTLB, a ZSU or two is not too much to ask for. T54 is long overdue.
Trumpy has already done some Russian helos, the attack helos would go well with the rest of their catalog.

While I am dreaming, I'd love a PACV hovercraft in 1/35

My Saladin is already on its way, and most of the other stuff has been mentioned. A Cascavel or Urutu armored car would be nice.

How about the mortor version of that vehicle. With the 120mm mortor. The up to date version would be nice.

WE can live in hope - why spend thousands on market research or release dozens of paper panzers when a simple poll on this site would produce a SURE-FIRE WINNER in the sales market !

Stuff that would sell, in my humble opinion:
-Chieftain family (especially the Berlin brigade model, immagine the box art)
-any MRAPs, someone should do the Caiman and the more impressive Maxxpro variants
-new T-54/55 family
-new ZSU 23/4

- Would an SS-27 Sickle in 1/35 be asking too much? It would fill out the new mobile missile trifecta : Scud B, Spider, Sickle. Might be a bit on the expensive side though.
