Hi, guys!

I am looking for picture reference books on LAV-25.
I have googeled already and found a good set of pics.
However, I am the "Can't-have-enough-books" typ-o-guy, can you please indicate worthy picture reference books (title author, ISBN if possible).

Thanks for your support.

Hello Guido

Concord Publications "Special OPS vol. 26 : Road to Baghdad" by Yves Debay (ISBN 962-361-066-1) includes several good shots of LAV-25 in OIF and some variants as well....
There's also a special issue of RAID magazine "Victoire en Irak" (by Yves Debay again) but I don't know if it's still available
You can also have a look at http://www.combatindex.com or http://www.usmc.mil (for Hi-res pics). There are some interesting pics here : http://community.webshots.com/album/295504544TCLdBu

Any particular details you need? I've taken a slew of detail shots, but sending them all would be quite time consuming. I also have some interior shots, and shots of the armoured exhaust cover. There's also a guy out there selling CD's of his pics, but why do that when you can get them for free?

If you can access usmc.mil then do a search on the photo gallery for some good action pictures of the LAV.

Eh, sounds interesting ! Maybe you could consider putting them online ....

Talking about details pics, there are some on Don Busack's website :

I often refer back to this link for tips as it shows detailed steps of how a person constructed the LAV.

May be of some use to you too.
