LAV III In Afghanistan - Finished

After having endured the dirty looks of my LAV model for the last 6 months, I finally got back to the diorama this week and finished it off. There was actually very little to do, at least when viewed against the project as a whole, but I had other things on my mind (as you can see on this phlog).

Here it is, all together at last!

  7. Thanks. I got the upgrade kit + a paper sheet of cardboard boxes and Timmy's cups + a LAV-III photo book from realmodel.cz. They have several different options for the Trumpeter LAV kit. I *think* I got the one labeled "LAV III (model 2008-09) Update set" but it has been 6 years since I built this, so that may not be entirely accurate. The two standing figures were sold by Black Dog.
