Black Dog T72014 USMC LAV-R for Trumpeter 1/72 – Resin Detail Set

Black Dog T72014 USMC LAV-R for Trumpeter 1/72 is a professional resin detail set designed for upgrading the Trumpeter LAV-R plastic model kit in 1/72 scale. This product allows for highly detailed reproduction of the American armored vehicle used by the United States Marine Corps – USMC. The kit is designed for the LAV-R (Light Armored Vehicle – Recovery) variant, which serves as a recovery vehicle used to evacuate and repair damaged combat vehicles under frontline conditions.

The LAV-R is a specialist vehicle based on the LAV-25 platform, used by the USMC since the 1980s—from the Cold War era, through Operation Desert Storm and the Iraq intervention, up to modern-day conflicts. The key role of the LAV-R was technical support on the battlefield—the vehicle is equipped with a winch, specialist repair equipment, and robust armor to provide crew protection while working under enemy fire.

The featured Black Dog T72014 set is made from high-quality resin, allowing for exceptionally fine and precise details that cannot be reproduced using traditional injection-molding techniques. The kit includes parts dedicated to the LAV-R superstructure, toolboxes, winch, and workshop equipment. In addition, each detail is sharply cast and ready for use with popular model resin adhesives. The product does NOT include metal or photo-etched parts—the entire set is based on top-quality resin components.
