FirstLook
Just recently you might have seen my LAV Command Vehicle from Trumpeter here on Missing-Lynx, and now l am preparing a second installment, this time reviewing the Anti-Tank variant also by Trumpeter.
On opening the box we are greeted by four sprues of parts in grey plastic, the two main body halves, a fret of photo-etch and a bag of eight tyres, but this time the narrower type relating to the Command Vehicle.
There is also a set of intructions, a small decal sheet and a nice color and marking guide on glossy paper.
On looking at the instructions, all seems to go together pretty much the same as the Command Vehicle, only now there is the addition of the Anti-Tank Turret, and the rear panel and doors are slightly different.
In summary, this appears to be another nice variant of this prominent modern vehicle, and l am looking forward to building this to go alongside my first.
Highly Recommended.
Thanks to
J.B. Wholesalers for the review sample.
