hmmm.. Maybe it`s better to open a new threat about the Australian Land 400 procurement. I would like to see pictures og the contenders, Rheinmetall Boxer with LANCE turret, Patria/BAe Systems AMV 35 and GDLS Stryker upgrade. Since we have thw Boxer/Lance already as a kit.

With the Rosomak from IBG available, maybe we can kitbash the AMV 35 by using a HobbyBoss CV90 turret?
Cheers

Hey H.-H.,
I'd say you're on the money with your kit bash idea....
The unsuccessful GDLS/Thales LAV6.0 (CRV) looks like this:
The equally unsuccessful Elbit/STK 'Sentinel II' looks like this:

Thanks guys! Like the look of the Boxer with reactive armor, unfortunatly, the vehicle has different tires than the RoG kit.
Greg, you can keep us informend how the AMV35 kitbash ends.

When will the final configuration of the winner be seen? I personally wish that both Boxer and AMV will be chosen. Perhaps the Boxer being tropicalized and the AMV desertized.

The Risk Mitigation Activity for Phase 2 is scheduled to take 12 months. So, I wouldn't expect a production vehicle before 2019. Considering there were something like 200 modifications over the base LAV-25, who knows what it'll look like?

Good for us modellers and the AM Industry. Will there be a public show with both of the contenders? Photos, photos and more photos!

There's the Land Forces show in September. I'll see what I can do.

New video of the Boxer CRV.

Some nice overhead shots.
Shame Rheinmetall can't get the camouflage right - still looks like a German paint job.
