WTS/WTT Verlinden 1:35th scale V-150 armored car with extra turret

[Story]

From the top of the pile, clearing out old kits due to changing priorities.

This is one of Verlinden's late-1990's 'hull is a solid brick of resin' kits with PE, includes an extra turret (40mm / .50 cal). Yes, they offered that option (see spec sheet here http://i.imgur.com/riyo0dg.jpg)

For those unfamiliar with the vehicle, it's a derivative of the Cadillac Gage used in Vietnam and if I recall correctly, saw use by the Saudi Arabian National Guard in the 1st Gulf War.  Probably seen more action on Hollywood's big and little screens.

$30 CONUS plus whatever shipping works. Will happily trade for 35th scale Italian stuff or what do you have by way of junk?

I swear I saw some driving around Camp Victory in Iraq in 2003. US Army MPs I believe.
They had the tuna boat turret.

Was just west of BIAP/Sather in 2008-2009.

Maybe you saw the M1117 ASV? That's a derivative. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1117_Armored_Security_Vehicle

I have that same model in protective custody.  It is an excellent paperweight :)

It was probably a M1117, a development of the V-100/LAV-150 family, which were issued to US Army MP units.

Ah yes, that's the critter! Thanks for the correction.

A Saudi Arabian National Guard vehicle in Yemen could have potential.

I built Verlinden's V-100 - good kit with only 1 air-bubble underneath

Someone's Thai Army build

And since Haiti is in the news again

What are the details of that latest one?

[Story]

I do NOT know! even after various types of reverse image searches, but with those two hatches it looks like a low-profile turret in the 105mm range - doesn't it?  Also, the driver's station exterior seems updated. That open tool rack screams 1950s/60s/yardsale vintage.

It looks like it's supposed to be some kind of MGS but, with the engine taking up half the rear space of the turret, there's no room for an auto-loader or magazine, Also, the tool rack, & whatever that is behind it, cover what should be an engine acces hatch. Plus, what's with the flared guards? As the previous images show, not part of the base design & not needed, unless you want it to look cool.

So, I'm wondering if it's a movie prop, possibly from SE Asia, where V-100s/LAV-150s are/were more common - not that I can find anything that suggests this might be the case.

Here's a cool variant (Phillipines Army "Simba"):

I was thinking perhaps 90mm gun

Here's a cool variant (Phillipines Army "Simba"):

The Simba is not a Cadillac-Gage product, it is produced by GKN a UK company.  It was sold to the Philippines and Malaysia.

Did you ever get rid of this? I'm thinking I might price shipping it to Australia (I know, I know. SO Expensive)

Let me save you from wasting your Koala-based Sheckles - not shipping it to Oz.
