Historical Background:

The LAV Mortar Carrier (Light Armoured Vehicle Mortar Carrier, e.g., LAV III TUA or LAV 25 Mortar versions) is a modern armored personnel carrier, used mainly by the Canadian and United States armed forces. It was designed to provide fire support to infantry units and mortar platoons in challenging combat conditions. In contemporary armed conflicts, these vehicles have been used to carry 81 mm or 120 mm mortars and to conduct indirect fire missions, for example, in Afghanistan and Iraq. The operational period of these vehicles covers the late 20th century as well as modern times.

Usage and Advantages:

The Eduard 36100 photo-etched parts are made from high-quality metal, enabling the reproduction of details impossible to achieve with plastic—such as handles, mesh grilles, additional armor, fine equipment details, or mounts. They allow for advanced modification of the Trumpeter base model and elevate it to the level of professional collection.

Build Difficulty: 3/5
