Once again hello to all. This is my second Thread and I would like to share this build with you all. Here is the link to my first thread

https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/107531&page=1

This a Trumpeter Kit with Eduard, Lion Roar Photo Etch and some extra items from other kits. I have been putting it together off and on for about 3 weeks. I had messed up the rear rack and tired to scratch build the rack. I think I did ok? Enjoy and all feedback is welcome!

Looks good so far, I just have a dumb question...

Why the spot painting?

You're off to a nice start. Stowage will probably hide the rack anyway.




I don't want to answer for Yufkey, but I do this a lot, especially with aircraft, where you won't be able to install glass later on. You spot paint, add glass, do the build, and paint the rest after. That's my guess.

good point, I didn't even notice that it was around the scopes

Yeap that's why I did the spot painting. I wanted to try somthing different.

its been a while since I've posted something on the page, but after a year break, Im back to finish my project. New pictures coming soon!!!!

Is the bustle basket scratchbuilt or a resin item? looking good.

It was scratch built. I mess up the one that came with it. So I tried to redo it myself.

Fill it with stowage and no one will ever say a word.

Coming along nicely,its always a good kit to build and looks awsome when finished,nice job so far

looking good so far! i'm going to be building one soon!

Good job and one question: which kit / manufacturer do the fuel cans come from ?

The Gray ones came with the kit and the green ones are from the AFV Kit for the 50 cal
Stryker

are you using the Voyager PE set? I'm currently building the same model with said pe set.

I used the Lion Roar Photo Etch and some left over from Eduards

I just painted my LAV trying a new way of painting. This is the first Coat of paint. Many more to come.

Here are some pictures of my LAV. I used Tamiya Fat Black and Hull red for preshading. Then I went back over with Testors Model Masters Sand.






I let the Model dry for 48 hours.Then I applied Tamiya Desert Yellow thinned.
.





I will let this dry for another 24 hours then come back with Tamiya Buff and Dark Yellow to add high lights

Here are some pictures aftering painting. Now its to start weathering

Here are some more updated pictures f my LAV.

Hello to all
Almost done with build. Any feedback is welcome enjoy the pictures

I like it! I'm sure a few will chime in but I really do think it looks great! The wheels, are they resin? They look terrific, the tread stands out, and the dirt and chipping do it well.

First time I see a guy that glue the bags directly to the vehicle and paint it afterward.

This is insane.
Great build
Congrats
Seb

I really love this build. Great job.

The LAV looks great. Good job on the weathering. Tamiya screwed you on the painting of the gear though. Their colors are way off. You may want to change the color of the e-tool case on the rucksacks. It should be more of an OD Green color, not pale green. It is too bright. The sleeping mats rolled on top of the rucksacks should be medium green. The straps on the rucksacks should be the same color as the ruck. The gear all looks shiney too. Maybe hit it with another shot of dullcoat.

E-tool carrier:


Sleeping mat:


Rucksack w/straps:


Other than that, it looks great.

Hay man I like you work.... I'm going to keep up with this post and use it to help ion all my LAV-25 types. The weathering is just awesome bro. Can I ask did you use clear tamiya red or clear red plastic sheet? On the view ports. An tell tonya hello from all of us here on Armorama forum.
