The LAV-M (Light Armored Vehicle – Mortar) is a variant of the American armored vehicle family LAV-25, adapted to the role of a mortar carrier (in this case, the 81 mm M252). This vehicle was used by the United States Marine Corps, as well as the Canadian and Australian armies. The LAV-M played a significant role in military operations from the late 1980s, through the Cold War period, and in conflicts such as the Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan (modern times).\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Trumpeter 00391 model faithfully reproduces the distinctive details of the original vehicle, such as the eight-wheel running gear, prominently marked mortar turret hatch, extensive side armor, and interior equipment components. The kit includes detailed plastic sprues that precisely reflect the shapes and proportions of the vehicle in 1\/35 scale. The manufacturer has provided a wide range of small parts, allowing you to build a complex model that matches the original. The set does not include glue or paints, allowing for a personalized choice of materials for finishing and painting according to historical USMC camouflages or variants used by other armies.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRealistic plastic model kit in 1\/35 scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLatest generation sprues with very high-quality details\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eReplication of internal and external equipment elements of the M252 mortar\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePrecisely rendered armor, suspension, and running gear components\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountries of use: USA, Canada, Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOperational period: Cold War, modern era\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRichly illustrated assembly instructions to facilitate model building\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProduct does not include additional resin or metal parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThis kit belongs to the category: plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Trumpeter 00391 LAV-M is a recommendation especially for intermediate and advanced military modelers who value accuracy, realism, and the possibility of further enhancement (e.g., using photo-etched or resin sets). I rate the assembly difficulty at 3 on a five-step scale – the kit requires precision but is achievable for those with experience in military modeling. It is an excellent choice for any modern armored vehicle collection, both on the shelf and in a diorama!\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Trumpeter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54719771050318,"sku":"TRUM00391","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/5149\/0638\/files\/81481b85ee4b355a8073dbbd1289affe.jpg?v=1755480994","url":"https:\/\/plastmodel.fr\/en\/products\/4038-trumpeter-00391-lav-m-mortar-carrier-vehicle-135","provider":"Plastmodel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
