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.

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

That I would love to do
Me made a mistook. Its not a Scorpion, its a Sheridan.... that rules that out...
You got me all excited for a minuet Ian, but looking on line there is a 1/16 Scorpion kit out there from Spyker Workshop. a bit pricey though.

That is a really nice kit, and of course, so is the accompanying Scimitar. (If you find a Revell Scorpion, that’s exactly the same aside from the box, instructions and decal sheet, BTW.)

How so? Officially it was the M551 Armored Reconnaissance/Airborne Assault Vehicle.
I had confused myself with the animal antics GB's lol. You just go for it then Jakko
But if you’re willing to pay for a kit for me to build, I’ll certainly consider abandoning my M114 for this one

I hope this qualifies as it's been an on and off try I have lost the tail wheel gear so it's likely to be wheels up.
Seeing Peters' post - I'll put this up............
I'll be obviously doing the PR version!

Ah! I had just found one of those in the stash as well. I will find a different version than that is in the box. Or some thing else...Cant have this turn into a Mossie GB. lol
Ha, I was going to do the MPM Spitfire PR XIX, but when I opened the box, not only had I started it - but I had also lost some bits!, So the first reserve, the Mossie was called up...........

Before I post my choice I have found out that I had started the kit not much so I just want the go ahead before I start.
