Or this;

The backstory for which looks strangely familiar, despite being written in 2020! :icon_surprised: ;

An interesting trio;

Awesome models Old Wombat 😍
Love the 4x4 LAV!
That trio of models gives a great scale differance (well more correctly similarity) of the dimensions of the Commando and BRDM-2 👍
Any chance of a head-on comparrison photo of the Commando & BRDM-2?

P.S. Does anyone have any details on the price of the Cadillac Gage V-100 and the Fiat CM6614/CM6616? Naturally, cost/affordability is a big consideration in my Alternative ADF ORBAT

Don't have a head-on view, unfortunately, this is the closest thing I have to it;


(I should, probably, crop the image to reduce the amount of unsightly workspace behind the chair.)



[Note to self: You really should finish the crew & dio for the LAV-150, old son!]

Best I could find:

V-150S Unit cost:  US$280,000 to $350,000 for V-150S with armament in 1992

By the way, in case it's not obvious, I should point out that this is my styrene interpretation;



of this digital creation by apophenia;

Thanks, ChalkLine, but apophenia deserves the major credit for the design, I merely interpreted it in styrene. :icon_alabanza:



By the way: If you ever get over to the SA Plastic Model Expo (or I ever get my arse over to SME in Melbourne) you may see it in the styrene there. ;)

Which, in turn, sprang from my C19 Ferret and C19A Bobcat AVGP concept ...  :D

Really attractive early turret on the V-100 (Commando)
