Jason from Arms Corps Models informed us about his new releases in 1/35 scale. These encompass several versions of Australian Light Armoured Vehicle (ASLAV), an Aussie version of the Light Armoured Vehicle (LAV-25).
ACM35851 - ASLAV-25, Phase III correction/update (4 options)

The ACM35851 is designed to fit Trumpeter #00392, and is actually comprised of 4 slightly different conversion options. All ACM35851 options, cover the most photographed versions of the ASLAV-25 Phase III from Australia and the MEAO. Each kit starts with Option 1, then the relevant parts added for each option. They have been completely retooled from the wheels up, and are for the Trumpeter ASLAV only.

Option 1 is designed to correct and update the Trumpeter kit into an ASLAV-25 Phase III used in Australia from 2002 onwards, and Afghanistan from 2006 - 2007.

Option 2 converts the Trumpeter kit into an ASLAV-25 Phase III used in Afghanistan from 2007 - 2009.

Option 3 corrects and updates Trumpeter kit into an ASLAV-25 Phase III used in Afghanistan from 2010 - late 2012 (this kit includes "Belly Armour" fitted to
ASLAV-25's mid 2011 onwards).

Option 4 converts the Trumpeter kit into an ASLAV-25 Phase III used in SECDET, Iraq 2007.

ACM35851 Option 1, 2 and 3 will be on sale from Monday the 16th September 2013. Please note, these kits are "Pour to order only". This means that the kits are cast when an order arrives and may take a few days to a week to be cast due to previous orders and other commitments.

Jason also announced his future release:

ACM35852 - ASLAV-25 Phase III correction/update "Bar Armour" versions (4 options)

Options 1 through 4 are also designed to fit Trumpeter #00392, cover the Bar Armour versions of ASLAV-25. These will be ready by the end of the year.

I'm looking forward to the bar armour options... I have seen some manufacturers already cast their bar armour in resin and it looked pretty good. Knowing Jason's casting technique I'm sure he'll do an amazing job on it. Mario

I have just received the Option 3 box. The kit is extremely well packaged with no breakage and good photo ref for the parts. The quality of the casting is the best I have seen - well done Jason. I can't wait to put it together - if only work deadlines would stop getting in the way!
