Now you need to get the FOV LAV and (although its not amphibious) the M2 Bradley. The Bradley especially offers alot of detail! I've wanted to pick up the AAVP7, but I keep on declining. I feel it needs a little more of a troop compartment interior, but hey, at least FOV is offering a diverse array of modern vehicles!

Camo or desert version ? Rest assured the accuarcy down to the company makings were confirmed by an actual tractor gunner some time ago on the board. Agree also on the LAV it is a nice model as well.

OK, well despite what I said nearly two years ago, I picked up the Enthusiast version of the AAVP7A1 somewhere during that time. The paintjob and weathering are quite nice and go very well witht the LAV. Alot more detail could have been included. The vehicle was large enough that FOV could have easily given more detail to the troop compartment... The figures are the best part and the vehicle looks great loaded down with accessories :D

I get confused by these old threads. I thought RED had found re-releases for a while. Help me out a little and warn us when you dust these things off!
