Ron's Reconnaissance GB: Chat Thread

Will an SAS jeep fullfill the criteria or a Dingo?

Cheers,
Richard

Richard - If you consider either vehicle to have been designed and built specifically for reconnaissance then build away come September.

Oh dear tough choice. :smiling6:

I’ve got an Accurate Armour M114 in the stash that I’ve been meaning to build for years … I might just start it for this, if and when I ever get that MBT 70 finished

[rtfoe]

Ok I found a Bronco Humber, Bronco Piper Cub "Grasshopper", Italeri FW189 UHU, two Henschels HS126 by Italeri and Airfix in the stash as well. I may keep the UHU for the Animal Antics GB in October. Still all of them are tempting but I have to decide in a weeks time. The SAS Jeep and Dingo are also in the mix. :confounded::dizzy::smiling6:

I’ll throw a Trumpeter RA-5C Vigilante in the mix, just have to wait for the am parts to show up from the UK.

Always thought LAVs were recon., but would like confirmation before moving on. PaulE

LAV-25s are certainly used by USMC reconnaissance battalions, and if you want to make something slightly different, the US Army borrowed a couple for scout platoons of the 82 Airborne Division in the 1990–91 Gulf War.

So who is going to jump in with the little surprise from Tamiya. A 1/16 scale full RC scorpion tank, which I believe was designed as a quick recce tank.

[Guest]

I bet that costs a pretty penny!

I've been looking at the smaller and much more affordable AFV club Scorpion as it happens, but probably for the Animal Antics GB as I'm struggling to find anything else I fancy.

I have a couple of things in mind for this as I've got nothing to build at the moment. Will see what's still available when I get back to the UK.

All I'll say is - it's a wingy thing, and it's blue
