Trumpeter 1/35 Scale LAV-M Light Armored Mortar Carrier Vehicle Model Kit

About This Product

For model building enthusiasts, this Trumpeter 1/35 scale LAV-M kit is seriously impressive! It recreates the Light Armored Mortar Carrier Vehicle with incredible detail and accuracy. This was the vehicle that provided indirect fire support to light infantry and reconnaissance forces, and Trumpeter has captured all the authentic details perfectly. The kit includes photo-etched parts for those fine details that really make the model pop, plus English instructions that guide you through the assembly process clearly. When completed, it measures about 8-9 inches long, making it a substantial display piece. The plastic quality is excellent - crisp molding with minimal flash, so you spend more time building and less time cleaning up parts. The historical accuracy is what really sets Trumpeter apart - they've included details like the ready rounds and stowed ammunition exactly as they were on the real vehicle. This is definitely for intermediate to advanced modelers - there are lots of small parts and the photo-etched components require careful handling. You'll need glue and paints separately (as with most model kits), but the results are worth the effort. The finished model has that weight and presence that makes it look like a miniature of the real thing. Whether you're a military history buff, model building hobbyist, or looking for a challenging project, this kit delivers that satisfying build experience that keeps you coming back to the hobby. The LAV-M isn't as commonly modeled as some other military vehicles, so it makes a unique addition to any collection. Seriously, if you enjoy detailed scale models, this is one of those kits that reminds you why you got into the hobby in the first place.
