Top: Irish trial of refitting an AML-60 with a turret from the FV721 Fox armoured car.

Bottom: Irish trial of refitting an AML-60 with a 25mm Bushmaster chaingun in a French-designed turret.

The story for both can be found HERE.

Idea: now I have an awful sense of scale (the place where I found the pic has some interesting numbers: turret mass 2200kg, turret ring diameter of 1500mm, and trunnion load 6000kg), but...... can an AML handle the 60mm HVMS turret?

The AML-90 could probably handle the turret, not so sure about the recoil. The similarly sized LAV-150 is limited to low velocity 90mm guns.

M3 VDAA Air Defence variants with twin 20mm cannon:



I love the jacks that are fitted to provide a stable firing platform.

Does anyone know of a kit of this?
