LAV-25A2 4269973599_204d69c191
The LAV-25A2 is an 8-wheeled Light Armored Vehicle currently in use with the USMC. The vehicle is the backbone of the Marine Corps' Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalions.

After I started this little project of mine sometime in late June, I happy and relieved to say, it's finally done.

Side profile. I tried to give in a more "in country" look by adding the spare tire, rolled up net, and packs.

LAV-25A2 4270726798_19a3cd28b1
Opposite side profile. The current SLEP (Service Life Extension Program) puts armor over the exhaust equipment, giving it a boxy look compared to the older tubular style. The newer A2 also features additional armor over most of the vehicle, bringing the vehicles weight to around 16 tons.

I like the good length of it and the sloped size to the vehicle. Smile

Wow that great. The gunners nest is the best. There is one thing, it looks like you were rushing. Some bricks are not pushed down all the way.

I like it. Although it may be too long. I just saw a vehicle like this in a movie called "Hurt Locker". Smile

Perfect, you did a nice job keeping it studless and clean while nailing the shape. The packs and gear hanging off the vehicle make it for me. Good work!

I saw this on flickr, but I don't remember if I commented on it. This is easily the most accurate version of of this vehicle I have ever seen. Props to you! Smile

It's pretty epic to say the least that's for sure. Can't wait to see what you make next.
