I have plans to add it to a larger UN diorama in the future, but for the moment, I'm enjoying building something Canadian!
In 1977 Canada begin the legacy of the LAV fleet by placing an order for 491 6x6 LAVs, which the customer referred to as Armoured Vehicle General Purpose (AVGP). There were three variants of this vehicle built. The first variant, the Grizzly, was an infantry carrier. The second variant, a Cougar, had a 76mm turret and was used by units of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps. The final variant, the Husky, was a recovery vehicle. Canada has deployed this vehicle operationally to such areas as Cyprus, the Balkans and Somalia. The AVGP fleet has since been retired from service.
some p.e
haven't figured out what this is for yet.
nice coloured paint callout
I started with the wheel wells. Apparently the first step is #7... this will be the first among MANY instruction errors.
I have to admit, this Cougar is developing a very nice underside...
they move
These parts didn't fit AT ALL!
You can see the lowsy fitt. There isn't room to insert the axels into the their holes based on where some armour plates are...
So, I sanded them down to fit, here you can see how much had to be taken off.
Now it all fits beautifully
Clear blue? really? sort of a strange colour call out for this... no?
Put together the back plate
Alright, that's all for now! next will be p.e and joining the halves together.
Thanks for stopping by!
