BISON APC, Canada, 1:35, conversion

[Marderman]

Hello friends,
To match my Canadian collection, I've taken on my BISON. It's a Canadian APC based on the LAV Piranha. There were various models from ESCI around 1990. And I've also converted a few. I built this one in 1990 as a waterline model. I never really liked it. Years later, I was able to buy an unpainted Piranha at a model show, I wanted to use it for something else. A 5-axle vehicle was still a dream. A few days ago, I had the idea of ​​making 1 out of 2. It wasn't a problem, only half of the tailgate had to be replaced. I'll paint it later. (...write my translater)

Five axles sounds good   After all, the U.S. did design a 10x10 amphibious APC.

That ESCI MOWAG Piranha/LAV-25 series of models was always a good subject to study.  So many versions, so many wheel combinations.

Nice! There's supposed to be a Bison kit (I saw the CAD), but other releases are jumping ahead of it.

10x10 for the win!

I remembered that I had a picture of a BISON kit on my PC. Now I've found it. I didn't take a photo of it myself, I found it and saved it. It was around the beginning of 2008. I don't know which manufacturer it is.

Interesting. But, yes, the manufacturer is a poser.

At first glance I wondered if it might be the Mouse House ASLAV APC conversion. But the kit in your photo looks like the entire upper hull was moulded in resin. Plus, the Bison add-on armour panels are in place on the nose. Hmm ...
