The 106 recoiless kit was, I am led to understand a pre-existing piece of engineering that was first carried out by our dear American cousins.
If that basic fact is true then I would ask the question in what way was our set up different from the American version? I note a hard radio mount in one of Ed Storey's pictures on top of the rear right fender. I was speaking to an older and quite accurate former soldier who recalls his unit having these jeeps in his unit (I think PPCLI) but they had a man pack which resided in front of the passenger and the grab rail was spaced off with some kind of extenders and the manpack dropped into that slot. He and I both wondered what stopped it from dropping out of the bottom. As we are both scale model makers at times, him more these days than me, we happened to be stood in a hobby shop and were looking at the AFV Club 1/35 kit and were considering building it as a Canadian vehicle. I would welcome comments and debate. I have posted a link to some images of a completed kit. I look forward to replies. http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling.../t/130830.aspx
