Damn. you have been busy lately. The LAV looks great, but I have to say I personally like them more when they are "overloaded" with personal equipment. However, knowing your skills I just know this one will be great.

See, thats the bad thing, I TAKE ON TO MANY PROJECTS AND NEVER FINISH ONE!!!!!!!!
Anyways, Erik, I have the Legend stowage set plus extra's from the spares box for this one.
Seb, it is actually the Eduard photo etch set for the Trumpeter LAV that I used. I had a chnce to get the Voyager photo etch ste at my LHS, but I thought the Edaurd set was better.

I see that you opted for the open hatches in the rear compartment. Did you use any aftermarket products in the rear, since Eduard PE set covers the interior as well (I know it's made for Italieri, which has the interior as well)
Really nice job though.

GH,
This is the more current set made specifically for the Trumpeter kit. It has no interior peices. I thought there was rumors of an interior for the Trumpeter kit in the works.

Thanks for a quick response.
I checked my set and it's made for Italieri's LAV 25. It should work for what I had in mind.
Besides the kit is not on any priority list yet so I can afford to wait for the interior set.
