Question to our Aussies armor expert: Can I use this for the LAV III?? The rear basket seems to have the hole for the mast of the LWR. Cheers Seb

If you mean the antenna masts, there is a complete set put out by Arms Corps Models of Australia that is a complete set of masts and bases made specifically for the Bushmaster and ASLAV. For a look at the parts and a brief review go to the link below: LINK All of the packs and other personal gear packed on the vehicle are able to be used on any vehicle.

As all Lav's use the same turret and baskets (to a certain extent) you should be able to use this ASLAV set for a LAV III. So long as you are using the Trumpeter turret or one based on the Trumpeter. The hole on the basket is actually on the centre mount for the antenna base attached to the rear of the turret. Nice sets, but I do think that the ASLAV one is a fair bit overloaded. Most stowage is on the inside of the car. And the rear basket has not been corrected. As for the Bushmaster one, well we all know that I am working on a couple of sets and that is all I will say for now, but good on Black Dog for having a go. Good detail and accuracy on the packs and trunks. They just should have spent more time on the DUKE's. The basics are there at least. Cheers Jason

keep it coming! the more options there are, correct or otherwise, the more customising and variation is enabled! Not sure about the huge quantity of equipment on top of the Bushy, I think someone said elsewhere that might be an issue. but the kit on the sides with some cut down wire boxes and we getting some good representation. (PE wire baskets anyone/ cut down hesco's ? ) As always though... just takes one reference pic of fully laden Bushy or Aslav to justify all that stuff. very nice indeed. Adam

I personally resent the crowded turret, where they will not really open hatches. Also, I miss the correct Australian fuel and water cans, which are on each vehicle. Miloslav
