Trumpeter 00371 1/35 USMC LAV-C2 Scale Command Vehicle

The LAV-C2 acts as a protected mobile headquarters fitted with communications to coordinate battlefield activities. Its design supports a range of missions while providing armoured protection for the crew. Trumpeter's kit conveys the vehicle's operational character with clean panel lines and realistic proportions.

Operational Use and Model Representation

The LAV-C2 is valued for transportability and can be carried by aircraft such as the C-130 and CH-53 E, and it can enter amphibious mode quickly when required. The kit captures this flexibility through accurate external detail and component layout.

The model consists of 238 plastic parts across 9 sprues and builds into a model 185.1mm long, 77.1mm wide and 87.3mm high. The level of detail makes it a satisfying project for modellers who enjoy precision assembly and weathering work.

What painting approach works best for this 1/35 kit?

A base coat with acrylic or enamel, followed by panel shading and subtle weathering, brings out the kit's panel lines and stowage. An airbrush gives the smoothest finish but brush techniques also work well.

Can beginners complete this model successfully?

Beginners can finish the kit but should expect a moderate challenge due to the number of small components. Taking time with trial dry-fits and using simple tools will help ensure a good result.

Is the decal sheet suitable for accurate marking?

Yes, the included decals cover USMC markings as stated in the specifications, allowing accurate identification when applied with standard decal setting solutions.
