It is an anti-aircraft vehicle of the US Marine Corps. I built it from February to March 2009.
It is an antiaircraft armament equipment type of LAV series. These are mainly deployed to US Marine Corps.
The under the chassis is a complex feature of the eight-wheel. Additionally, it is an amphibian motor car, it equips the screws and rudders on both sides.

It is easy for me to assemble this kit for moderate amounts of photo-etched parts. No need for adjustment of the upper and lower body assembly, nice fitting.
Jerrican on the back door is from an accessories kit of Tamiya.
Since plastic might melt to touch directly the surface of the rubber tire, I painted lacquer paints between parts and tire. Masking tape was attached for painting window flame.
He is one of the Dragon U.S. TANK CREW set. Such a tank soldier’s injection kit is rare and valuable.

LAV is a Light Armored Vehicle, it was developed as a combat vehicle of the urgently dispatched forces. The crew is three people.
It is an amphibious vehicle, and it is possible to move at the speed of 100km per hour on the road and 10km per hour on the water. Two screws are attached to the back. I equipped five barrels 25mm Gatling gun and four stinger surface to air missile rocket launcher, you can choose various armaments as you wish. It is the mix of armaments that can target from long distances to close-in.
The coloring of the crew’s camouflage is not so good. Is green unnatural?
The length between the tire is close. I suppose it’s for the ability to run on the bad road.
After I had painted in orange and Silver, painted clear coat to make them shiny. I think from this angle it the best shot.
I suppose the decals of the small words should have been pasted on the clear surface to prevent silvering.
Should I paint out the back such as the rocket Launcher’s backside? Orange and Silver lights on the front and red lights on the backside are considerably good accents.
I did a little weathering on the window for natural taste.
I think the surface becomes dirty when walking on the upper surface with boots. There was a photo that I couldn’t see the basic painting with dust-covered the Gulf War.
This kit was very interesting in that I could assemble many kinds of armaments.

I am interested in models of tanks, airplanes, ships, military figures, I build it little by little when I feel like it. I am also interested in the history of war. My starting is Tamiya’s Military Miniature series in the elementary school.
From elementary school through university students repeatedly suspend and restart my modeling, it’s about 25 years of this hobby’s history.
Born in February 1970, I live in Tokyo. From February 2007 I was quietly doing a site called “Miniature-Arcadia”. It is being transferred to this blog with the same name from December 2016. My update pace is uneven, but please come to see here occasionally.
