Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the FSM forum!

Italeri makes the LAV 25 TUA tank killer, and LAV 25 Mortar Carrier.
Revell Germany makes the LAV-25 Piranha, which is the variant with the 20mm cannon, unless I'm mistaken. All of them are in 1/35 scale, as that's the only scale I work with Smile [:)]
All three are priced at around the same range. Less than 25US, for sure. If anything, the Revell one is a little bit more expensive. But all should definitely be under 25.

The LAV25 is armed with an M242 25mm Cannon. The Revell LAV25 is a pretty decent kit, but is a little pricey for what you get.

Thanks for the clarification Stephen. I don't think there's a question out there that someone here doesn't know the answer to :)
It's great!

The Revell LAV-25 is the same kit as the Italeri LAV-25 (#259). Italeri made four variants of the LAV: LAV-25, LAV-Mortar, LAV-AT, and LAV-ADA. All are basically the same lower hull and running gear.

Esci made three versions: LAV-25, LAV-AT, and LAV-Command. They are OOP, but the Italeri kits were better.

They all start out on ebay for around $10 and go up. I want the 20mm version too thought I don't care much for the mortar and hammer head [anti tank] versions. The revell kit i beleive comes with more recent decals, I beleive from the first gulf war. That's the one I'm after but I'm willing to settle for one of the others. I also beleive the old ESCI hammer head kit comes with several figs [ troops and possibly tanker figs].
