With all of the recent developments for precision guided 70mm FFAR it would make perfect sense to allocate one of the launcher positions for a container of these weapons.


Found this YouTube video on the BAE APKW that would be an ideal accessory for your Cougar:

The Lockheed Martin Direct Attack Guided Rocket (DAGR) would also work...especially if one were to fit the setup shown below with 4 DAGRs (Grey in centre) + Hellfire

actually, I found my Hellfire's from a 35th Cobra! They were in the M-548 box (along with a set of PE, woot!) that I had forgotten about.

Are you still considering CRV-7s along with the Hellfires?

maybe - if I do it up like MMEV. If not CRV-7 specifically, then some kind of ballistic self-defence weapon. Maybe a .50 cal co-ax.

Speaking of "fantastic", how's this build going, Gingie? ???

I ask merely because I want to see this great AFV finished! ;)

Guy, its been shelved for a bit while I try to build a cross between a 6x6 Cougar AVGP and XM-800W.

Also, I want to add a dozer blade from the Academy M-60 to the HIAV. Once that is done, there's maybe 5 more hours of building and I can start painting. Too many hobbies,a nd the weather is too nice right now for modelling :-)

Well I finally got some model time in and have started finishing up some of my shelf queens. Here's the Weasel build complete. Quite a variety of donor kits, mostly all from the spare parts bin.
Trumpeter- AVGP base kit
Maple Leaf Models - Wheels
Gun turret - Tamiya Marder
MMW Radar - Tamiya M-60 Searchlight
Sensor Unit - Real Models LRAS3
Front stowage & Jerrycans - AFV Club Centurion
Antennas and hatches - AFV Club Stryker
Small boxes and vents - Tamiya Cr 2
Upper hull boxes - Tamiya Flak 20 (I think)
20mm Gun - AFV Club YPR-765

I think the build is done on this. I messed around with a dozer blade, but in the end decided that a C2 or TACP variant of the HIAV would not be fitted with a blade. I'll put it on a future project.

Thanks Fellas. I swore I would not start anymore whifs until these were painted, but I've gone and diced up some p-card to make a rear-engined 6x6 AVGP, and,  a tracked Grizzly.  :o

Gorgeous work Graeme! Will you take the same drivetrain approach for your tracked Grizzly?
