Saw today that the Canadian Army 5th Division received their first six TAPV's today. Sweet looking machine, can't wait till there is a model of it.

Looks like a modified M1117 armored security vehicle

It would definitely make a mean looking model... That's based on the M1117, right? Or a totally new vehicle?

Very nice. The V100 -> M1117 -> TAPV evolution continues! Really have a soft spot for the Cadillac Gage/Textron 4WD.
