Given me stock pile of models in the basement, I would be game to buy this if it came out in styrene.

I see many of them on flatbeds headed south out of Detroit. Four wheeled and six wheeled versions.

I have a hunch they are based on the M923 chassis, so maybe a resin conversion would be nice too.

From the recent series of announcements, Force Protection and Oshkosh have joined up to boost production output of mine protected vehicles for Iraq deployment. The announcement didn't clearly state specifically which of the Force Protection vehicles, but with the attention that these might draw, a kit might not be too far off.

I don't think the Cougar is based on the M123 chassis. The Buffalo (my personal favorite) is based on a Mack chassis, so it might share components with the M123 chassis.
