Hi, it looks very nice! The only thing I see that needs immediate attention is weathering the wheels to match the dusty upper surfaces. LAV's are cool

Why do you have equipment all over the vehicle, but nothing in the turret basket?

I done the camo with tamiya paint with a airbrush.
I used also ak stuff mostly from the nato set.
I then airbrush some humbrol san colar that I work with some turpentine to add some effect.

Salut Antoine

Nice work. Just two remarks about your storage :

IMHO, it's not a very good idea to hang rucks just beside the muffler opening.

I'm not sure that the WW2/Vietnam-era steel fuel cans were still in use at the beginning of OIF.

Ahh, that explains it. Since you didn't mention it was a WIP, I assumed it was presented as finished. Your new updates are looking good.

Thank for ur comments, I didn't know about the fuel can thy were from vietnam era. I got those one in the lav25 stowage set from legend production, I was aware about the alice bag but they are to date in oif 2003.
I put the stowage like a picture from a french magazine RAIDS from IRAK 2003.
