Flyingfortress Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 This is Trumps 1:35 LAV-M Mortar Carrier (81mm or 120mm,not sure which). Unlike the LAV-25 I built awhile back, this one gave me fits. The undercarriage (drivetrain) was a nightmare where nothing wanted to fit well. The supports to hold open the weapons compartment didn't align right (my fault I think) and the interior is very bare. I painted it overall European Green then followed some advise and drew on the pattern with a pencil. I used the Harder and Steenbeck with a .15mm set up and it sucked! Maybe it's me,but I can't seem to get a nice,even flow from that airbrush. I think I had the paint too thinned as well as it 'spider webbed' in many areas. I cleaned that up for the most part. I still need to dirty it up just a little and dull coat it. Comments welcomed and if you know what I'm doing wrong with the airbrush,PLEASE let me know! I forgot to mention,I added random decals inside the compartment to give it a little life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HeavyArty Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 It's an 81mm. what nationality will it be? ^^Ditto^^ The como scheme you applied is not 3-tone NATO camo as used by the US on USMC LAVs. 3-tone NATO camo is Forest Green, Medium Brown (Field Drab), and Black.
