Here are some of the latest images of the Canadian TAPV released by the Canadian Army. That is one sweet looking vehicle, now only if we could get a model of it.

It's nice to see in the field photos. These really are good looking vehicles. I would like to see one in plastic as well. Trumpeter, are you listening?

Regards,

Working reference.......out soon...

That's a mean looking truck - a model (1/35 styrene) would be great. Curious why the green/black Maple Leaf is a different shape from the red/white one.

Based on the original plan, the Canadians expected to field the entire TAPV fleet by now but in 2014 the prototype vehicles some technical issues that required design changes that delayed the delivery by almost two years. In April 2016 TAPV completed a rigorous Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Durability (RAMD) test that proved it is ready for delivery. The tests, that lasted three months included driving through 130,000 km of challenging terrain representing operational profiles prescribed by the Canadian Army. The TAPV’s RAMD testing also included firing the remote weapons station and conducting more than 4,700 hours of remote weapons station usage, including 1,650 hours of silent watch operations.

Looks like we’re finally getting our wish to come true. Areon models plans to make a TAPV in 1/35

Now we just need to find out where to buy these ...

Looks nice, but apparently a piece of junk. Also, in my opinion it is too large for a recce vehicle.

Why is it a piece of junk??

It is nice to see some Canadian specific vehicles coming out such as this one, but I would really like some Canadian figures from the Afghanistan era! I would also like to some models of the M777.

Too high C of G. Rollovers, catching fire. Too large for intended role. I think a better solution would have been the French VBL.
