Yup, the local hobby store has a couple Pumas in stock, but I was
reticent to buy because of the scale discrepancies.

I bought a 1/48 Tamiya Kettenkraftradt, and the GZG door gunner
matched it perfectly.  I then bought the 1/48 LAV-25, and while it
works as an AFV, it's definitely bigger in comparison to the human
figures than an actual LAV-25.

The turret assembly I put on it comes from one of those spheroid
things from the Gundam line, twin cannon on what looks like an ADS
mount.	I'm a poor modeller, but it's still coming out looking OK.
