I suggested on Tiger-Model's FB page that they do the "French style" Husky in the pic below (Sorry, don't know the correct name for it).. and I got this reply from them...

"Tiger-Model thanks for your attention and support. It is a good suggestion, and we will carefully discuss the project. If you have some related documentation, pls e-mail us."

So, does anyone have any documentation we can send them.. or a link to a site that has good pics and info?



I wish some of you experts who have a lot of documentation would start using FB and offering them suggestions and pics and stuff... For years, modellers have been asking for some way to contact these manufacturers.. and now we have it.. so why don't you make use of it?

Hi Hisham

This beast is called SOUVIM 2 (Système d'OUverture d'Itinéraire Miné 2)

http://dev.defense-update.com/page/130?attachment_id

Here's one fitted with balloon tires :



Unfortunately I don't have any useful reference stuff about it...

H.P.

Woo-Hoo !!!
An armoured dune-buggy !!
Forget those little converted Volkswagen Beetle chassis, this
is The Real Stuff

Looks neat. Not my cup of tea per say. Would much rather see tiger do a amx-10p.

Yes,this would be another one of those interesting,yet weird modern armor subject.

Thanks for the name, Henri-Pierre... I just saw a pic of it somewhere and thought it would really make a nice kit

I keep badgering these manufacturers with suggestions and pics on their FB pages, I'm worried I might end up being banned

Hisham

I don't believe french army has adopted ballon tires. I guess it is just an option suggested by the manufacturer.

I don't like this vehicle at all, it is too ugly ! The worst is the front equipment:D

That's what I like about it

Can't please everybody, I guess
