Does anyone make a crew for the 35th scale LAV-25? I see Warriors did, but I cannot find one in stock anywhere. Does anyone else? Thanks!

Hey Jason,
what timeframe are you going to depict?
However, despite the warriors crew seems to be the only set 'intended' for LAV's you can practically use any modern crew... LAV crews do use both versions of the CVC helmets seen on any other modern US AFV.

Cheers, Max

Hey Jason,
I'm also building an A2 at the moment. I'd recommend you to use this set:


currently A2 tankies are often wearing their NOMEX suits, so the alpine figs should fit your requirements... anyway I have no idea wether the IBA's would do it, maybe you'll have to attatch a few more straps and such to convert it into a more recent version...

Cheers, Max

A few years ago at EuroMilitaire the Azimut were showing a set of excellent resin figures for LAV (it was shortly after first Trumpeter LAV kit release). I have not seen them ever since...

That stinks. They are not listed on Azimut's website
