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

The AVGP family, which includes the Cougar, Grizzly and Husky, entered service in 1976 and saw widespread use. The Grizzly is modelled here at 1/35 scale to capture the vehicle's operational profile and appeal to kit builders interested in Cold War era armour.

Operational History and Appeal to Modellers

The Grizzly offered versatility to forces with its durable construction and adaptable roles. Trumpeter recreates the early Grizzly with close attention to external fittings and panel layout, giving modellers a realistic base to weather and detail. The kit’s parts total exceeds 220 and includes etched metal for finer components.

Assembly Notes and Exhibition Potential

Designed for accurate assembly, the kit includes multi-slide moulded hull elements and separate rear panels fitted with crew entry doors to add realism. Hollow rubber tyres present detailed tread, and clear parts let you treat the cab and glazing with precision for a strong display model.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Length: 172.3mm
  • Width: 76.46mm
  • Part Count: Over 220 pieces
  • Materials: Includes photo-etched parts and hollow rubber tires
The kit reproduces panel lines and external fittings faithfully for the early Grizzly, and the inclusion of photo-etched parts improves scale accuracy for small details.
Clear parts allow for glazing and limited interior visibility, but the kit focuses primarily on exterior accuracy rather than full interior replication.
Many builders are happy with the supplied photo-etched pieces, though specialised aftermarket sets can add extra finesse if you aim for museum-level accuracy.
