The Canadian Husky 6x6 AVGP (Improved Version) by Trumpeter, reference 01506, is a plastic injection static model kit at the 1/35 scale. It reproduces the Husky, one of the three variants of the Canadian AVGP family, alongside the Cougar and Grizzly.

The AVGP range entered service in 1976 with the Canadian forces. This Husky reproduction in its improved version makes an interesting subject for a collection of modern Canadian armored vehicles or for building a military diorama in 1/35 scale.

Assembly and finishing

Assembly involves the usual steps for plastic modeling: preparing and removing mold lines from the parts, using glue suitable for injection-molded plastic, then painting. Applying a primer helps achieve a more uniform finish and prepares the small parts. The clear elements should be handled with care and glued with a compatible product to preserve their transparency.

At 1/35 scale, each dimension of the real vehicle is reduced by a factor of 35. This format allows you to work on surface details, paint, markings, and an appropriate weathering finish for a wheeled armored vehicle.
