As I mentioned with my Cougar, the AVGP project was an effort to procure and deploy a family of cost effective light armoured vehicles to enhance training fidelity amount armoured and mechanized troops, specifically within the Primary Reserve.
The Husky was the ARV/Fitter variant, operated by the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. It’s equipped with a 4.5t crane boom, it’s capable of supporting field maintenance on the APC and FSV vehicles including pulling power packs. The vehicles were initially all equipped with amphibious gear, including twin screws for propulsion. This capability was later removed during midlife refits, with the screw housings being replaced with stowage boxes.
This is the Trumpeter kit with only some minor scratch work. Painted with Tamiya and AK-RC and weathered primarily with oils.
