The foundation of the E.T. Model EA35-055 set is its precisely made photo-etched elements, which faithfully recreate the details of real blast shields used on LAV family armored vehicles. These vehicles entered the service of the United States Marine Corps in the 1980s and have played a significant role during armed conflicts, including the Gulf War, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and NATO missions in Afghanistan. The blast shields are a distinctive and essential protective feature, safeguarding the crew against mines, grenades, and fragments. Thanks to this set, modelers have the ability to replicate modern vehicle variants and enrich their models with elements resistant to the passage of time.

The set does not include basic plastic parts – it is a comprehensive package of dedicated brass sheets which require cutting, bending, and precise assembly. A detailed assembly instruction is included. We recommend this product to intermediate and advanced modelers – difficulty level 4/5 – as working with delicate photo-etched parts demands skill and patience. E.T. Model EA35-055 is an ideal choice for enthusiasts who want to achieve an accurate representation of modern armament and build themed dioramas featuring the USMC.

This set guarantees heightened realism for your LAV model and increases the collectible value of every replica.
