Gino P. Quintiliani takes a look at the SEAL FAV Conversion for a proper FAV from Black Ops Models in 1/35th scale for converting the Hobby Boss kit.

How about Black Ops website? You can order direct from there. Don’t see this Kit listed yet, but I’m sure it will be.

Merry Christmas to me, Merry Christmas to me...

Looks great; & it was used in Afghanistan, too.

Which figures to use? Desert Storm or more current?

You are correct. I realized I failed to mention it after I submitted the review. I found this pic of one listed as outside Kandahar, A'stan as well.

Oh this looks good. When I was in the 3rd ACR in El Paso in the 80s, we trained against the 9th ID who had these. We really dominated them. Light attack buggies against heavy cavalry (in the cav's backyard no less) wasnt a good idea. I wish I would have got pictures. I remember one incident where they were zipping around our POV sight. Poor guys sat so low in these things they couldnt see over the vegitation in the desert, LOL. We could see for miles in our M60s and M113s. They were practically blind.
