Overview of the Trumpeter 01504 Cougar in 1/35

The Trumpeter 1/35 Canadian Cougar 6x6 AVGP model represents an improved version of the armoured vehicle used by Canadian forces for several decades. It is aimed at modellers who appreciate historically grounded kits that reflect the vehicle's operational use in peacekeeping and patrol roles.

Service Background and Practical Role

Conceived during heightened Cold War tensions, the Cougar AVGP was designed for reconnaissance and light support tasks, trading heavy armour for mobility. This kit captures those attributes through proportionate hull lines and realistic fittings, helping hobbyists study the vehicle's purpose.

Modelling Experience and Finish Options

The parts offer crisp detail on the turret and running gear, making the build engaging for those who enjoy assembly and weathering. With careful painting and washes the model presents well on a shelf or alongside other 1/35 armour models.
