Nice LAV III !!!! Anyway of down loading those photo's? My brother and I both have this model and it would be a good reference for our builds.

Winters may be cold in Canada but at least there are no mosquitoes or blackflies

Nice LAV III !!!! Anyway of down loading those photo's?

Place your cursur on the photo you want and press your right mouse button.  You will see a "Save Picture As" option.  Click this and save it to your hard drive.

Be cautious using this, or any other model, as a referance.  It is pretty good, but has some issues.  The biggest is the clean wheels and filthy undersides.  Also, the decals are all silvered and look like they were put on after the weathering so they really stand out.  The buttstock on the FN MAG MG should be black resin, not wood.  The rear fuel cans should be a light green-brown color, not the same green as the hull.  It has a few smaller issues too.

It is better to use pics of actual vehicles as referance.  Here is an excellent walk-around of a LAV III TUA at Prime Portal.

Thanks, John! By now you probably know how to download and save photos, just remember the location (folder) that they're kept.
