Has anyone heard of anyone coming out with a LAV III kit? I drive them so would love to build one.

We won't see a LAV III until the U.S. starts using the LAV III (Stryker), and then the model companies will take notice. That's how it always goes. I have always wanted an AVGP Cougar (which the US doesn't use) and twenty one years later I am now the proud owner of a veeery pricey resin kit of one. It would have never been released in styrene, so I am thankful for Hobby Fan of Taiwan. I hope we won't all wait that long for a LAV, I really want a Coyote too.

JC's right, the only ones out there are the old Esci and Italeri LAV-25 and TOW, mortar and other variants.

I'm afraid an EXPENSIVE resin kit will be in the very distant future for that one. For some reason not too many companies take a lot of notice of Canadian vehicles. It's their loss!
