With all of the recent developments for precision guided 70mm FFAR it would make perfect sense to allocate one of the launcher positions for a container of these weapons.

Found this YouTube video on the BAE APKW that would be an ideal accessory for your Cougar:

The Lockheed Martin Direct Attack Guided Rocket (DAGR) would also work...especially if one were to fit the setup shown below with 4 DAGRs (Grey in centre) + Hellfire

Gingie · « **Reply #153 on:** June 19, 2013, 04:56:53 AM »

actually, I found my Hellfire's from a 35th Cobra! They were in the M-548 box (along with a set of PE, woot!) that I had forgotten about.

Are you still considering CRV-7s along with the Hellfires?

Gingie · « **Reply #155 on:** June 24, 2013, 11:09:13 PM »

maybe - if I do it up like MMEV. If not CRV-7 specifically, then some kind of ballistic self-defence weapon. Maybe a .50 cal co-ax.

apophenia · « **Reply #156 on:** June 25, 2013, 08:37:57 AM »

Yup, coax makes good sense.

Looking fantastic, that HIAV!

Old Wombat · « **Reply #158 on:** June 26, 2013, 05:14:54 PM »

Speaking of "fantastic", how's this build going, Gingie?

I ask merely because I want to see this great AFV finished!

:)

Guy, its been shelved for a bit while I try to build a cross between a 6x6 Cougar AVGP and XM-800W.

Also, I want to add a dozer blade from the Academy M-60 to the HIAV. Once that is done, there's maybe 5 more hours of building and I can start painting. Too many hobbies,a nd the weather is too nice right now for modelling :-)

Gingie · « **Reply #160 on:** August 05, 2013, 11:22:35 AM »

Well I finally got some model time in and have started finishing up some of my shelf queens. Here's the Weasel build complete. Quite a variety of donor kits, mostly all from the spare parts bin.
Trumpeter- AVGP base kit
Maple Leaf Models - Wheels
Gun turret - Tamiya Marder
MMW Radar - Tamiya M-60 Searchlight
Sensor Unit - Real Models LRAS3
Front stowage & Jerrycans - AFV Club Centurion
Antennas and hatches - AFV Club Stryker
Small boxes and vents - Tamiya Cr 2
Upper hull boxes - Tamiya Flak 20 (I think)
20mm Gun - AFV Club YPR-765

Gingie · « **Reply #161 on:** August 05, 2013, 11:53:24 AM »

I think the build is done on this. I messed around with a dozer blade, but in the end decided that a C2 or TACP variant of the HIAV would not be fitted with a blade. I'll put it on a future project.

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #162 on:** August 05, 2013, 03:22:09 PM »

Wow!!!

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #163 on:** August 05, 2013, 03:30:09 PM »

Looking good.

Once again.... great use of stuff.
Really nice build

Logan Hartke · « **Reply #166 on:** August 05, 2013, 10:10:16 PM »

That really looks the business, Gingie. Well done!

Cheers,

Logan

It is pretty cool.

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #168 on:** August 06, 2013, 02:25:54 AM »

It sure looks every bit the business. I especially like the legs on the back.

Holy cow, that is really nice!

Gingie · « **Reply #170 on:** August 07, 2013, 09:05:33 AM »

Thanks Fellas. I swore I would not start anymore whifs until these were painted, but I've gone and diced up some p-card to make a rear-engined 6x6 AVGP, and, a tracked Grizzly.

Bring it on.. loving this way of using existing designs and extending it further.

Hi,

very neat build. Everything looks right and functional.

Cheers

Oh, yes please! But still looking forward to seeing the AVGP Weasel painted too :)

Gorgeous work Graeme! Will you take the same drivetrain approach for your tracked Grizzly?
