Just want to know if anyone has made a Conversion Kit or has built themselves the LAV III from the Trumpeter Styrker and LAV 25 kits, pics and lists of product used would be awesome. If you are currently working on a Conversion, I may be usefull for source information since i have been a LAV Drv for the last 4 and half years.

Yup, Charles King (Ti) has done it here.

And the completed model is here.

Good luck.

P.S - Rock on -- Princess Patricia's Can. Light Inf., had one of your former commanders from A'stan come talk to a group of us a while ago. Good dude.

Is the Trumpeter Stryker being used as the base or the better detailed AFV Club Stryker ? Sounds like and from Charles King's LAV III build log one very complex and comprehensive conversion!

Something definitely worth waiting for, I hope. I do hope it will be as close to a beautiful conversion as Charles's model. It's still one of the finest LAV 3 build to date.

Still learning - hopefully these photos uploaded - I have finished the LAV now - these photos are unweathered. It looks better now. Photos are not the best. It is the trumpeter kit but I am going to make one with the AFV kit as well. It was quite a bit of work but I'm glad I did it!!
