Hi there!
This post is just to tell you that the brazilian army is testing wheeleds armoured vehicles to replace the old Cascavel and Urutu family vehicles.
They are avaluating the Centaur and lately the Puma, anybody knows something about it vehicles? If does have kits or some in 1/35th of these vehicles.
Just if somebody is interested, have a local manufacturer here in Brazil that makes the Cascavel w/ 90mm gun in resin (1/35), itīs a good to average model and you could poses it in a dio of Gulf War (since many was sold to Iraqui by the 80īs and knockouted very fast by the allied tanks, there is a photo of a knockeout one in the Squadron book of the Gulf War.
Cheers!

Gunnie, I have to check it out, probably around R$100,00 (+ or - US$ 33,00)
If you are interested, let me know....Do you know this AFV?
