Cheers chaps! It's not a Lynx though - while mechanically identical, the Dutch M113 C&V had a completely different crew and hatch layout and they didn't give it a snappy name.
Thanks for that - looks very much like a Canadian Lynx with the addition of the up-gunned turret. That being said, google search of M113 C&V makes reference to it being called Lynx. Hmmm. Eghttp://theplasticsoldiercompany.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1781
The Lynx is my favourite AFV... I badgered my mate Martin to make a model of one, so that QRF would produce it. The Humber LRC comes a close second... Some would say that I have very strange tastes and a strange concept of the word 'armoured'...
Been a while since I last sat in the commanders seat of a C&V 25mm. And no, our Dutch army never called it a Lynx.Feel free to break up the jute helmet covers with streaks of green paint, some units did that. or glue on a lot of dead grass but I can imagine at 15mm that would be a chore. Also, skip painting the front bit of the FAL in brown, 95% of the ones I've seen had the same colour as the rest of the gun, rarely the buttstock in wood, like a number of Uzi's. And even those are ok to be painted the same as the rest of the rifle. (just checked, after 1980 the conscripts got new FAL's with all black plastic parts replacing the wooden parts)Care top share the paint for the uniform? I still have a 40 of so Van Heutsz to paint to fight my Spetsnaz > Never mind, went over your Blog (y)
Well, wood isn't wrong per se....so don't worry about it too much If the ball would drop everything would be dragged from the armouries, right down to the Brens and quad 50s of WW2 vintage.
