And no, the "Hybrid" is not a diesel electric or battery equipped version...though maybe it could be... ;)

Who drives around with the rear hatch open?  It'd suck in dust and other crap because of the low pressure generated inside by the air rushing past it.   Not a very comfortable idea.   We always used to roll the sides up on our rear truck canopies and roll the back down, to create a high pressure cell inside and provide some ventilation for the diggers we were carrying.  It kept the dust and crap out.

The Hybrid must be on a route march of something 'cause it cannot be going into an engagement with the rear hatch open (leaving a glaring hole there for bad guys to shot into).

I thought it was parked & had just dropped off some troops. :))

The Grant & the Merk. 1 Hybrid would be nice additions to the stash. 8)

I'm actually glad to see the Brave Tiger because I've been wanting to build one for a while and the old AFV Club kit has been tricky to find, at best. Sure, I could piece it together from existing M48 and M60 kits but why bother now?

^ Oooh, nice!   :smiley:

So, given that these "M48s" feature an M60A3 hull, can we expect Takom to jump on the M60 bandwagon as well? If so, that'd be great as they're probably easier on the budget than AFV Club and Dragon.  :icon_beer:

Making the rounds of other forums (fora?) and a conversation with the knowledgeable Mr. Fontaine, came across this release announcement:

I immediately began thinking of WhIffing possibilities...

Thanks again Greg for "taking one for the team" so the rest of us can afford to have the BV-206 in injection moulded plastic. :icon_alabanza:

The Googles has many, many cool pictures of the BV-206







Of course, by first question is: Can you separate the front from the back?

Sadly, not one of those Bv-206 are the same as the Takom kit. Curious why they didn't do the BV-206 in the version that was used by 40+ countries and around 10k units, plus, combat deployments.
