Hello,
This is a Brazilian Navy AAVP7 fighting drug gangs, lead by a criminal organization named: COMANDO VERMELHO-CV (RED COMMAND), at the shantytown streets (favelas) in Rio de Janeiro.
Unfortunately I was not able to avoid the decal severing, probably due to old decals.
The graffiti on the New Jersey concrete barricade says: “ ARMOURED VEHICLE WILL GET BULLETS”













Regards,
Jorge Henrique

Hi Jorge! It's good to see you again, and your beautiful work.
I never see the photo you used before.

I guess the "brindado" (wrong written armor) mentioned by the criminals refers to the armored truck used by an elite Rio's police unit (similar to swat), not the APC itself.


The vehicle is niknamed "big skull" (caveirão).

one more time, great work man!

Hey Audren, Thank you for your words.
You actually might be right, maybe the "brindado" reference it's because of the "caveirao" and not because of the Navy APC.
