M119A1 is available in resin from Mouse House Enetrprises out of Australia.  It is a pretty nice kit. http://www.mheaust.com.au/MHE/Resin/OZA/M118.htm

Here is my build of it.

No M992, yet, but it can be scratched/converted from an M109 hull.

I have built a Q-37 in the past.  Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of it though, way before digital camaras. 

I also have plans to do a complete Q-36 section too...eventually....

Love your 119. Especially the dummy cord on the muzzle plug. Not sure how many times I had to go to supply to get a new one as the old one was not to be found after first round. Damn pre-fire checks. How did you do the upper part of the FAASV? The chassis seems easy enough, did you just use panels?

Check out the link below and it explains it all.  Basically I had panels drawn up in CAD by a friend, then had them laser-cut in plastic.  I then assembled the "box" and added all the details from scratch.  It was a long, laborious build, but very rewarding.

M1200 Armored Knight. I have the M1117 Guardian from Trumpeter, but I cannot find any aftermarket stuff out there to build the M1200.

Formations used to have a conversion set.  I don't know if it is still available though.

You could also use the cupola and LRAS3 from a Trumpeter M1131 Stryker FSV.

Ugh I can't find the formations one anywhere!!! I would still have to do some scratchbuilding still no matter which way I went even with the formations conversion set.
