Scorpion (CVR(T)) family (and Scorpion turret users) - Ideas and Inspiration

I've always thought that the Scorpion turret and the Fox turret look interchangeable......

I think this might be more useful for a man with a family... ;)

Hmm, we could even pack all the cats in for vacations. Be a bit of a pain to park a lot of places, though; probably have to store it where others store RV's when not in use. Wonder if they'd do an enclosed one for those who want an all-terrain RV?

Well, that one was created from a enclosed version, the Sultan ACV. All they did was chop the top off and put in more seats. If you want an enclosed RV, I'd recommend either the Sultan or even better, the Stormer (which had an extra roadwheel on each side) which made it longer and roomier. It also featured a more powerful diesel engine and uprated gearbox.

What if an 8 wheels Scorpion?
Logan Hartke:
Neat idea, ysi! That inspires me to try my own crack at the concept.
I chose a smaller chassis, the YP-408, from closer to the time period of the CVR(T) family and scaled the turret to match, including a turret ring extension that considers the angled upper hull.
This would be a Dutch variant in place of the M113 C&V (also known as the Lynx or M113 ½). It would increase commonality with the Belgian and British armies and provide greater speed, strategic mobility, and firepower, albeit at the cost of greater size.
Also, I chose the Scimitar turret which I think is better fit and much better looking, but the Scorpion is still an option, too.
I'm calling it the YP-408 Pantserwiel Verkenning, abbreviated as YP-408 PWVK. I don't know about anybody else, but I like the looks of it more than the Bundeswehr's Spähpanzer Luchs of the same era.
Cheers,
Logan
