I was wondering if I could use Italeri's LAV as a base for a Canadian LAV? What turret could I use,?
I haven't done a lot of research just seeing if I can add to my Canuck Steel squadron, I doubt my Lynx will be done.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

The Italeri LAV25 kit would be closer to the Canadian Coyote Recon veh. The Lav is a much bigger vehicle that is a big step up from the smaller LAV25. It could be done but a lot a scratch building, different tires, rear ramp instead of hatches, driver hatch similar to a Bradleys etc. Sombody will probably come out with a kit/conversion since the U.S. are using the Stryker (LAV no turret). Others out there may have more insight. I have played with them but not for any length of time!

Hey Joker,I'm working on that exact project now .I'm using the Revell Piranha kit.It is a time killer while I wait for the "paint to dry" on my other kits.I have a ton of pics of the Coyote pics and if your going to try it I hope you do too.Some of the things I've seen with the kit so far are,engine deck work,tires,gun mantlet,turret baskets,exhaust (muffler),delete the props and add fuel tanks and a ton of small details.Hope to see someone else giving it a try!
