Trumpeter has a rather nice ASLAV available in 1:35. The kit has a few little accuracy issues but overall it's quite good.

Dan is correct about the Trump ASLAV 25.
Mouse House is the only way to go for a conversion for the Trump LAV 25 to the ASLAV PC.
Mouse House is currently working on a fix which will include PE and resin for the newly released Trump ASLAV 25. I'm not sure if there will be various combinations sets to the fix kit, there was some conversations about a full blown bar armour to a smaller set that would fix some of the detail errors.
Don't forget to populate the vehicle with Jason Millers wonderful crew sets and decal solutions for the complicated stowage bin tarps and uniform fabric.
Here is a good place to start.

You can also buy the Trump LAV 25 and then get the Mouse House conversion kit for that which would give you the turret bar armour.
If you really want to save yourself a lot of running around gathering research images buy the Mouse House
Here is the catalogue.

Eduard is working on an ASLAV 25 detailed PE for the Trump ASLAV 25.

It is a great time to be interested in Australian military content.
Hope this helps

The Guys pretty much answered it below but I note you are in QLD, if you are in Brisbane look up AMMS Brisbane and go along to a meeting and meet Jason personally. Just a thought

Hi William,
I enjoyed seeing your Aslav you did a great job on it you got the detail spot on.
With the research I’m good on that front, first hand knowledge is the best research to have.
Thanks Guys for your help.
