Nice, Jess! Looking forward to more of your work. Very nicely done camo and weathering. I have two sons who are corpsmen with the Marines, Semper Fi!

Thanks guys for the kind words, The trumpeter LAV goes together nice didnt have any fit issues at all, I hear they are coming out with a command version in 1/72 looking forward to that they really beat the ace kits.

Jess,
Outstanding job! I like how you've rendered the multi-colored camoflage scheme, very well done. The weathering is well done too! I also like the road grime on the wheels . . . looks convincing. Nice set of photographs! Lots of detail on this kit.
Thanks for sharing and hoping to see more of your builds.
