Good news,
The stowage looks great, hopefully they won't forget to include the late style commander's sight...
anyway, I'll definitely have to get my hands on one of these!

Same ol boring ALICE packs. Newer packs look nice, but I'd rather see MOLLE packs.

Hi Guys,
I been yesterday onnthe Nuremberg Toy Fair, talking with Trumpeter representatives, but no word about an LAV-25 SLEP. Perhaps they have a few aces in their sleeve? What can we expect next? An MRAP for example?

Cheers

OK, new muffler, tires, and a Platt mount, how about a new sight housing for the gunner's sight? Would rather see the A2 before this one.

I would be VERY interested in the Molle backpacks as pictured on the model. Do you thing they will go together with the LAV kit or they were taken from an aftermarket set just for the purpose of this photograph?

Please let me know.

Regards

Jiri
