Anyone know of a conversion kit in 1:35 scale to add the Blazer Air Defense System turret to a LAV?

Italeri used to make it in styrene, it's been OOP for awhile, and the last couple went on Ebay for ~$40.

The Hummer Avenger (kit no. 6387) is available from Italeri. Could you use a LAV 25 body and kit bash the weapons station into a blazer?

Looks like you could scratchbuild the turret and add the boxes. But there is a dramatic difference between the two. Note the minigun on the opposite side of where the Avenger's .50 is.
