I just received Trumpeter's LAV III Kodiak and am wanting to add some etch. I believe I have seen it before, but am now unable to locate it. Is there a set available and where should I look? Many thanks and a happy, fulfilling new year to all.

Real Models makes a set that includes the blast shields on the turret and the additional hull armor. Real Models also sells the IBAK belly armor. Voyager and ET models sells a set as well

REAL MODELS (NOTE- RM sells two. One for their AFV Club conversion and this one for the Trump kit)

Thank you.

Still sounds cooler then "Gavin" though...

Agreed, the whole Gavin thing is pathetic.



cheers

ha! Kodiak! Gavin! Muscle Break! Turrent! Copula!! Nyaahh!

Ooo! Ooo! Ooo! You're so gonna get a beatin'! Come here what I smacks ya!

Back to topic. Does anybody have an opinion on which am wheels I should use?

I prefer DEF's Stryker/LAV wheels. They come with masks and there are actually 4 pairs of slightly different wheels in each box. That way, the writing on the sidewall is in a different position for each wheels. ET model also is nice and has this feature. It is cheaper, but doesn't come with masks. Real Models are well detailed too, but I think each one is exactly the same.

The wheels from E.T. are on sale. I have the tools and consumables to make my own masks.

Go for the ET models then. They aren't hard to paint anyway and the casting is excellent.

Jason: You have been a great help. Thank you.

no problem!

You can always take a peek here.

Hope it helps,

I don't see any of the items I have asked about and there is no "search" option.

I am in need of some vector drawings for this build. I have requested them, from "The-blueprints". Any info on where I can find them would be much appreciated. My main focus is the upper, rear hull. Also, does anybody know what parts the screws and washers should be replaced with?
