General, you may begin your landing.
Here are my 1/48 scale AAV-7's. These are the excellent resin casts from Empress Miniatures. I added the stowage racks and cargo, but other than that they are pretty much right out of the box. I decided to do one of each in the camo schemes used by the USMC to make them easy to keep track of on the game table. I may do a third in the near future with the add on armor kit being done in factory new green over a worn NATO camo scheme. The bolt on armor degrades due to salt exposure and gets replaced more often than the vehicle gets repainted.

You have made a great job of those, absolutely spot on :-*

Certainly one of the strangest-looking vehicles on the modern battlefield. I had one of those long ago, they are cool models and your stowage and antennas look great.

Beautifully done. Always fancied doing one in NATO camo with sand coloured add-on armour as seen during the second Gulf war.

Looks like it should be operated by diminutive figures with glowing eyes wearing hooded robes...

I'm sure there is a joke about Marines to make here...

I forgot to mention, nice paint jobs.

Thanks!
Trying to follow the NATO paint template for that vehicle with all of the angles from the add on armor kit is a real pain.
I actually bought enough of the Black Dog stowage sets to cover the sides with crew/occupant gear, but decided not to after finally getting the pattern to look right.
