Greetings all!

Just joined the campaign and my entry will be the 1/72 Trumpeter M1126 ICV. As I've just returned to the hobby this will pretty much be an OOB. Also, there is very little 1/72 add on stuff in our local hobby shops. We'll see what develops.

The Inside


The Pieces






Good luck to all!

all right i got the replacement instructions in todays mail. but before i start this one i want to get a m988 avenger done for another gb on fsm. i am half way thur with it all ready .

I've finally finished my Canadian LAV III. It's the AFV Club Stryker M1126 base kit with RealModel's superb conversion set. I'll post some pics hopefully later tonight.

cheers

Bob


(ps - no relation to the previous poster although he has a great name!!!! hahaha)

Here is my finished Canadian LAV III. I've also put photos in the campaign gallery. This shows a vehicle as currently deployed in Afghanistan.
















I really enjoyed building this kit and was probably the most fun I've had in awhile building a model. I can't say enough about RealModel's conversion set. It's set the standard for conversion kits I think. I'd like to send out numerous kudos to Miloslav Hraban of RealModel for producing this kit. I also added a fair amount of scratchbuilt bits and some afterrmarket stuff including items from Accurate Armour (water bottles, padlocks), excellent Maple Leaf Models items (jerry cans, C7A2, stretchers), Hauler padlocks as well and Archer (markings, flag, CFR plates), Aber buckles and MV lenses.

cheers

Bob

What Bob is also being so modest and quiet about is that his LAV III won "Best of Show" at the recent Alberta AFV Modeller Show.

Hi all,
I just got my self the MGS version and feel like to enroll...
Err Mr Campaign Master, can we have extension on the dateline. I got so many kit on my workbench...cant fit in any more kit now.
My suggestion is maybe in February 09 for the end date?? We got so many stryker out there... huhuh

Thanks guys....
cheers
Bob

ps - Charles, your scratchbuilt LAVIII was my inspiration to want to do this kit....thanks! Bob

Bob,
What did you use to make the engineer stakes on the right hand side of the vehicle?

Tanks
Andy

They are cam net support poles......they fit together, usually in sections of three to form corner and centre supports to hold the camnet up over the vehicle when it is stopped.

great looking builds thier guys. i am about to start on my m1126 stryker. but i need your help. i need a scan were the paint colors were in the front of the instructions. i have the afv club stryker that way i can get what paints i needed ordered for this strykee and many more that i am going to build. thanks rob

I've used Tamiya Nato Green, When this isn't dark enough, just ad a little bit of black to it.

Lars

Hi guys

@ Andreas - I used 13 x 3.8mm long sections of .030 styrene rod for the cam net poles. I painted a couple of full length rods Tamiya black green then cut them up into sections. They fit nicely into the racks with a drop of CA glue on the ends to keep them in place.

@Lars and Robert - I used Tamya NATO green as well, but applied a Vallejo German Camouflage Black Brown filter over a Pollyscale satin coat. That darkened the colour down to the right shade.



Bob

Hello All,
I just updated my build blog in the Campaign forums. Bob, thanks for the advice on the net poles.
