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

The AVGP series, consisting of the Cougar, Grizzly and Husky, has been in service since 1976 and the Grizzly was a prominent member of that family. This 1/35 scale offering captures the early Grizzly's silhouette and service characteristics for model builders who value authenticity.

Service Role and Modelling Interest

The Grizzly served in varied roles thanks to its robust design and versatility. Trumpeter's kit mirrors the early production details and is geared toward builders who enjoy accurate exterior modelling. The kit includes more than 220 parts with photo-etched elements to enhance small-scale detail.

Kit Construction and Final Presentation

For builders aiming for a true-to-life finish, the kit supplies multi-slide moulded hull sections and separate rear panels with functional crew doors. Hollow rubber tyres carry a lifelike tread profile, and clear components support interior glazing for a convincing display model.

Yes, the separate panels and realistic tyre detail make it well suited to diorama scenes; the parts allow for posed doors and realistic weathering techniques.
Use CA (super glue) sparingly for photo-etched metal, or a small amount of epoxy for stronger joins; fine tweezers and a steady hand will help with placement.
Prime the tyres with a flexible primer, then use flexible-friendly paints or a careful mix of standard acrylics with a rubberiser to avoid paint flaking during handling.
