Thanks guys.

The Sidewinder missile heads are Testors Chrome Silver overpainted with Tamiya Clear Orange. The Hellfires are from a 1/35th UH-60, and while the kit does provide a clear seeker head, I used a 3-D purple reflective sticker I found in the scrapbooking section of the craft store.

Trumpeter AVGP Grizzly
Academy M-113
AFV Club Diehl Tracks

This What-if build would have taken place around the time the CAF was thinking up ideas to re-purpose the AVGP. One of the drawbacks of the AVGP was its somewhat poor performance in marginal terrain. Along with the 8x8 Gun Tractor , a tracked concept using M-113 and AVGP parts was created to outfit Mechanized Infantry Battalions.

The M-113 and AVGP share the same max hull width, and also share the same width at the rear hull roof line. The M-113 hull is going to have to be lengthened. Presumably, the motor would be upgraded to account for additional weight that add-on armour would bring. End result I expect will look a lot like a Warrior MICV with a 1m turret.

Gingie's Build Thread - Cougar C1A1 AVGP
« Reply #231 on: October 02, 2013, 10:41:03 PM »
The original Cougar shares a similar hull design as the Grizzly. The Grizzly, used mainly by the Infantry, required a rear troop carrying area. In the Armoured units, the Cougar did not have the same requirement to transport dismounts. The Cougar C1A1 instead uses this area to relocate the power pack. This offered the advantages of: improved handling, as the orginal Cougar was notoriously front-heavy; a shorter wheelbase & tighter turning circle; a slightly lower profile; and greater agility through an increased power-to-weight ratio.

Here's where the build is at now. I'm thinking Cougar turret with a 25mm bushmaster, or maybe a LAV-25 turret.

I think the tough stuff is over, should be fairly OOB from here on in. Not going to fit any add-on armour or anything too "out there". Paint scheme will be as per Canadian Army 3 tone AVGP pattern.
