Thanks!

That is one good build you have there! Love your Lav!!

Outstanding build!

As said before ... excellent model Charles. If there was any doubt previously of your skills, as your previous model are not really comparable because of subject and availability, this has shown exactly what you can do with an available kit. Just hope you can make it to the Open next year ... as im sure there´s more than myself, that is interested in seeing this "in the flesh".

Thanks guys. Frank, we'll see if I bring it to the next IPMS I'm working on the Stryker ATGM. I would like to bring the ATGM.

Congrats on a a well deserved win. Looking forward to seeing the ATGM. WIP pictures please.

Well done, once again for building this model. I never had any doubt that you would not win. Congratulations.

BTW, I read somewhere on this forum that Trackjam is going to make a LAV III. Can someone verify this please? Is it true?

It is true....Trackjam will produce a conversion for the LAV III....no idea on release date, price, etc....according to Paul there should be some images released in about a month.

Oh Great!!! Now someone decides to make a conversion kit after all the hard work I put into building mine . If I had known I probably would have waited. Oh well, That's life.

Thanks for the news Jason.

Don't worry about it ti.They probably got inspired after seeing your build I think you should be proud as being the first and only person I know to tacatle such a project. As far as I know anyway.

Just wanted to bump this post up to honor ti and his work. Just to show ti's scratchbuilt skills without any plans being used. This LAV III is definately was an inspiration to why the LAV III has been produced and demand ever so needed. Thanks ti for sharing your fantastic work with us.
