BISON APC, Canada, 1:35, conversion
« on: Yesterday at 04:27:17 AM »
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 :smiley:  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!
