Trumpeter 1/35 Canadian AVGP Grizzly (Early) Model Kit - Kit Overview

The Canadian Armoured Vehicle General Purpose fleet, made up of Cougar, Grizzly and Husky types, has been an important part of service since 1976. The Grizzly, fielded in significant numbers, is captured here in a detailed 1/35 scale kit that reflects its role and form for hobbyists and history-minded builders.

Service Background and Modelling Interest

The AVGP Grizzly provided adaptable troop and support options across multiple deployments. This Trumpeter release recreates the early Grizzly variant with careful attention to panel definition and external fittings, giving modellers a satisfying project with historically informed details. The kit contains over 220 parts, including photo-etched pieces, supporting a thorough build process.

Construction Details and Display Ready Features

The Trumpeter 1/35 AVGP Grizzly kit is aimed at builders seeking authentic assembly. Key parts include multi-slide moulded hull sections and separate rear panels with crew entry doors, plus hollow rubber tyres with realistic tread. Clear components are supplied for interior glazing, helping produce a compelling display model when finished.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Length: 172.3mm
  • Width: 76.46mm
  • Part Count: Over 220 pieces
  • Materials: Includes photo-etched parts and hollow rubber tires
This kit is best for intermediate to advanced modellers due to the number of parts and the inclusion of photo-etched items which need precise handling and finishing.
Use enamel or acrylic model paints for the plastic sections and flexible-specific paints for the hollow rubber tyres to avoid cracking; priming helps adhesion and a consistent finish.
Yes, the separate rear panels and crew doors allow you to pose the model with doors open for diorama or display use, but careful fit and pinning may be needed for stable positioning.
