OK, here's the skinny on a very full photo DVD.......
The DVD contains as Ken said at the top over 5000 images....amazing!
It contains the following.....
LAV III
The folders are broken down as follows....
LAV III Walkaround- shows LAV IIIs with add-on armour but without kit. This LAV III was photographed in October 2007 and does not have all the later mods such as the turret and rear blast shields, new side stowage, extended jerry can racks, or new antenna mounts. It is a bare bones LAV III showing an overview of the external details.
Hull Front Area- shows all the details from the front wheels up to the front deck and glacis plate area.
Light Clusters and Mirror Areas- all round detail views of these areas.
Driver's Hatch Area- self explanatory....interior and exterior details.
Hull Exhaust Intake Area- the upper deck grills in detail.
Turret Ring Area- All angles of the turret ring and the mounting points for the rear blast shields.
Hull Upper Rear Area- the rear upper hull hatches exterior and interior and the blast shield.
Hull Left- front to back and bottom to top....excellent details shown.
Hull Right- same as per the left side.
Hull Rear- Under the hull, the light clusters, the spare wheel attachments, the rear door....nothing left unseen.
Winch Area and System- everything you need to see about the winch including the drums, front hull rollers, and rear hull pulleys.
Fuel Tanks- all angles covered and details such as the filler caps and hinges.
Rear Stowage Brackets- all the details of the rear hull brackets for the external stowage box.
Wheels and Wheel Well Details- wheels, tires, brakes lines, add-on armour attachment points, shocks, strut housings.
Suspension and Drive Train- Ken obviously spent a great deal of time under a LAV III to get all these images.
Turret General Views- an overall turret walkaround....shows good dust and oil accumulations.
M242 25 mm Gun- great images of the overall barrel....and the muzzle and the exterior gun mount.
Mantlet Area- every little detail from on top to the cover to the underside to the coax port to the gun camera.
Wire Cutter- details of the wire cutter on the turret.
MBGDs- fantastic detail shots of the MBGD clusters....no one should ask anymore where the retaining chains go.
MG Mount- Very nice images of the basic mount and showing a C6 in the mount with ammo can...other images also show how the crew stows maps, gloves, and a GPS on the turret.
Turret Hatch Areas- hatches interior and exterior, periscopes, hinges, and locking mechanisms.
Turret Sight Areas- sights, optics....great for getting the correct colours, and soft covers.
Turret sides, rear, and stowage baskets- everything you need to know so you can build your LAV III turret baskets properly without going insane.
Antenna Areas- antenna mounts on the turret rear and front left......these are the older style antenna mounts with the coiled springs.
Laser Threat Receiver- also known as the Laser Warning Receiver....an multi-view of the device, the sensors, and the turret mount.
LAV III Operational- a ton of images showing LAV IIIs ready for deployment with full kit and weathering. The images show a variety of warning signs to civilians, improvised hull stowage using the Hesco Bastion wire sections, a transition from the original antenna mounts to the T shaped antenna mounts, pioneer tool stowage and weathering, endless amount of stowage straps on the hull, crew applied names and battle art, improvised extended jerry can racks, improvised cots stowage racks, turret stowage, and excellent views of the actual vehicles ready for combat operations.
The LAV III portion of the DVD is for sure the most extensive look at the LAV III that I have seen to date.....excellent information provided for any modeller looking at building a LAV III in particular circa 2007 buit any year with the overall basic details provided.
Next portion of the DVD to follow....the Coyote......
