Does the Hobby Boss AAVP7A1 RAM/RS kit represent a vehicle used in Iraq? All the pictures of AAVP7A1s I have seen are equipped with EAAK armor and the Hobby Boss kit does not include it
Thank You
Evan

There were some AAVs used in Iraq w/out EAAK. If you can wait, Hobby Boss has an AAV7A1 RAMS/RS w/EAAK coming out soon as well. It is listed as kit # 82416.

Concords Marines on the ground volume 1 and 2 has tons of pictures of RAM/RS non EAAK AAV's, and quite a few pictures of non RAM/RS AAV's, both copies are worth buying!
