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

The AVGP family, comprising Cougar, Grizzly and Husky variants, entered service in 1976 and the Grizzly made up a significant portion of that fleet. This 1/35 kit aims to reflect the early Grizzly's design and operational presence for scale modellers and collectors.

Historical Notes and Modellers Interest

The Grizzly was valued for its flexibility and durability across a range of tasks. Trumpeter's early-variant kit reproduces key external layouts and fittings, providing a historically grounded project. The parts count exceeds 220 and includes photo-etched items to help capture fine detail.

Assembly Features and Display Quality

Model builders will find multi-slide moulded hull components and separate rear sections with crew doors to enhance realism. The hollow rubber tyres show defined tread patterns, while clear parts allow for accurate glazing and limited interior detail, producing a convincing final 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
Build time varies by experience and finishing level, but allow several weekends for assembly and painting if you aim for a neatly finished display model with weathering.
The focus is on external accuracy, with clear parts enabling some interior visibility; however the kit is not a full interior kit and parts concentrate on exterior fidelity.
Fine tweezers, a sharp hobby knife, and a bending tool for etched metal are useful, along with CA glue or a tiny dab of epoxy for secure attachment.
