(Pics) LCM 3 and JGDSF's LAV

Wow, another set of amazing works. Thanks Model Maniac!

Great builds.

One question regarding the JGSDF's LAV(currently building 2 of those) it appears that your windows are lacking the blue tint(X23), might be the photos.

If the tint is not there, may I ask if it was by design(new additional info about the actual deployed vehicle, etc), all I am going by are the kit Instructions.

Amazing as always and in only 16 days! I couldn't do it in 16 months.

excellent my friend, once again!!

Great Models ...Model Maniac about the Tamiya's JGSDF's Light Armored Vehicle did you know that Mexican army have a lot a of these vehicles? but in two doors...that's my next proyect to scratch build one to make a Mexican army vehicle.

Many thanks for all your kind compliments!. Today happens to be the 6th
birthday of my Website and Model Maniac pages. I can't believe I've come
this far, taking almost 2,800 photos over the years. Thanks to all encouragement that we (my modelers and I) received from many a modelers, most notably on this site!.

Model Museum, I didn't do the models myself so I don't know about the blue
tint parts that you mentioned. I believe my modeler followed the kit instructions too. Please check the following link to see whether it can answer your question or not:

Romelio, the Mexican army also have a lot of these vehicles?. Very well, I think
it's a very nice 4x4 with better armor protection and fuel efficiency than the US Hummer. You don't have to scratch build the whole vehicle, just the body part to replace the two backdoors, I think.

The pics of the real thing I saw showed a faint bluish tint/coating, just checked again with the instructions there they say to tint the clear parts(windows) with Tamiya clear blue. Maybe some form of protective coating anti-laser or similar.

Either way the build is very nice and I congratulate the modeler on it..

Once again, some spectacular work. Your collection just never ceases to amaze.

One of the things I like about poking my nose in here is that I discover interesting models I didn't know existed. Like Tamiya's LAV--never heard of it half an hour ago, and now I just ordered one. Thanks, Model Maniac, for introducing me to this kit.

Thanks a lot for more kind comments!.

Model Museum, if the instructions were in writing then there was a high probability that my modeler didn't read them, he just followed the graphic instructions.

MarianLH, it's my pleasure to know so. You may order one or two more boxes because this kit can be built into 3 versions. I'm thinking of another version too.
