Main Battle Tanks

Leopard C1
Canada has used only the Leopard 1 MBT since the 1970s.
These are CinC Leopard 1A3s with GHQ decals.  The Maple Leaf decals from GHQ are surprisingly easy to use, despite being two part (white background and black overlay).  They look very effective and come about 150 to a sheet along with an equivalent number of German crosses.  The Leos are painted in the monotone scheme common until the late 1980s.


Cougar Light Tank
From CinC -- a fine model that this photo does not do justice to


APCs & IFVs

M113s
Two Canadian M113s (old-style GHQ models) with custom-cast baggage and CinC M2HBs.



Grizzly Light Armored Vehicle
6x6 light armored vehicle used by forces stationed in Canada.  This model is from CinC.  Better photos definitely needed.


Reconnaissance Vehicles

Lynx

The M113 C&R aka M113 1/2 aka Lynx in Canadian service
Model is by CinC.  It is, rather surprisingly, crisp but rather plain.



Engineering Vehicles

M113 Engineering Version
The Canadians employed an engineering version of the M113 in their combat engineering units.  A conversion is planned.

Artillery, Tracked and Towed

ADATS
This is the US/Canadian/Swiss (?) Air Defense Anti-Tank System.  The model on the left is from Skytrex, that one the right is the Skytrex turret a GHQ M163 hull.  I also have a custom-built version.




Miscellaneous Vehicles

M577
M577 Command track in Canadian service.  Model is by CinC.  Terrain is a Terrain Maker hex with an orchard made of nails and flock.  Decal is black Canadian Maple Leaf from GHQ.


GMC Radio Van
An H&R model, ordered from the Last Sqare.  


GMC Pickup Truck
General utility vehicle for the Canadian Forces, from H&R.  This model probably has extensive kitbashing possibilities.


Husky Recovery Vehicle
The ARV for Cougar/Grizzly equipped units, from CinC.  This is my attempt at the official pattern (well, at least on the front of the vehicles).
