Not interested by those kits but I'm waiting for their exciting conversions for the LMV Italeri and for the Dingo 2 Revell.

The Supacat looks interesting. Are the Canadians using these as well?

The All Terrain Mobility Platform Mark III manufactured by Supacat is in service with the British Army primarily as an all purpose (also amphibious) ATV with airborne and special forces. It has countless uses from simple equipment transport to casualty evacuation. According to some on-line photographs, it is also in service with Malaysia's armed forces and, probably, others not documented in the information I consulted.

I suspect it is because the editor who added the company didn't realise the Site address was for the company who brought it to their attention rather than the producer.

Given what I know of camels, I highly doubt one could be used as a gun platform!
