Trumpeter 00371 USMC LAV-C2 Light Armored Vehicle-Command&Control (1/35)

The Trumpeter 00371 USMC LAV-C2 Light Armored Vehicle-Command&Control model is a unique offering for military enthusiasts and modelers seeking faithfully reproduced contemporary vehicles. The 1/35 scale model represents the LAV-C2 armored vehicle, used by the United States Marine Corps (USMC). This is a light command and control vehicle, a member of the well-known LAV-25 transporter family, which has served in numerous conflicts worldwide since the 1980s.

The LAV-C2 was a key element of USMC equipment during the Cold War and military operations such as the Gulf War (1991), and interventions in Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan from the 1990s to the present day. The main task of this vehicle variant was to provide effective command capabilities on the battlefield – it is equipped with advanced communication systems, antennas, and workstations for command and planning operators.

The presented model is made of high-quality plastic, allowing for excellent surface detail and faithful rendering of the hull structure, antennas, hatches, and interior fittings. Trumpeter has ensured a rich replication of the original’s elements and precise external detailing, including the running gear and characteristic electronic equipment of the command vehicle. The model is intended for self-assembly—the kit does not include glue or paints, enabling full customization in accordance with historical colors and markings.
