Thanks!

The Rooikat looks mean. I'll take one of those.

We are really in need of a good Middle Eastern tank crew.

Dont count on trumpeter then for a crew, there figures are the absolute worst...

Rooikat is my "must have".

Hi;

"YES" Another 8-Rad to add to my collection !

CHEERS; MIKE.

Excellent! Kitbash the turret from the M1117 onto a V150 and a Filipino car fighting in Malawi is possible.

First a Rhino. Now a Rooikat. Just need a Olifant Mk. 1A and a Buffel to round it out!

I really like the looks of the Rooikat. Probably didn't hurt that I just finished building the Revell Germany Luchs kit, so I'm probably predisposed to like LOTS of wheels!

That is precisely what I am doing in 1/35!!

Rookiat announced over a year ago,hope its soon

i was looking around for a 1/72 m1117 guardian, trumpeter must have heard my prayers

Here is an in progress shot – albeit several weeks old as I am currently away from home for work. Unlike the LAV150S I did previously, I am doing the interior on this one.

Turret is from Trumpeter’s M1117, with work still underway to modify the left side to represent mounting an M240 vice the kit’s Mk19. The upper part of the turret (vision blocks/sight) is from Trumpeter’s AVGP Grizzly kit. The turret basket is being made from a HobbyBoss AAVP7A1, with some modification of course. I will also be adding radio gear, probably RT542 and R442 along with M16s, M60 and various gear scattered about.
