Piranha PWI-GR

I got one of these for cheap because a couple of the punches were AWOL.  It's the mutts nuts.

Do you get the matching hammer to bash the punches with?

I think I will go and see if I can get something like that on this side of the world, thanks for the tip. Ordering from Australia will probably not be the most efficient way to get one

It's starting to look like something now:

The tyres are on, but only temporarily to see what it looks like with them, but I did glue the wheels to the axles. I don't normally do it like that, but because the tyres can be put on and taken off easily anyway, I figure it will be easier this way after all. I did have to remove the moulded-on, hollow axle stubs from the backs of the wheels and drill them out to 3 mm so they fit over the Italeri axles.

The periscopes for the passengers are finished, I moved the lifting eyes (they're in different places on the LAV than on the Piranha I and II), added front turn signals from the Dragon MBT 70 kit, and also fitted more details like grab handles, hatch handles, the supports for the antennas, etc. The main things still left to do are to finish the hatches, finding something to use for the firing ports (or to make them from), add a cover over the exhaust, fit the actual antenna bases as well as smoke grenade launchers, and figure out something for the front and tail lights. I'll probably also add pioneer tools, but I think I'll have to look a bit more closely at the YP 408 first, to see what was carried on that, and how.
