Can't be bothered with Real Models anymore.Way over priced and other companys have much better quality.

To each his own opinion. I believe Real Models has filled a much needed gap in Canadian subjects and their quality is as good as any other manufacturer in resin an PE.

Do you have a leads on any LAV III kits other than the Trumpy LAV III or the RM conversion? Oh I know the AEF Designs one, the one without the sheets of photo etch or resin wheels and with the bent resin barrel.

You get what you pay for.

I heard of another company also doing the same. Cannot recall the name. Trumpeter's LAV III is on my bench right now, good to see some modern Canadian armor out there!

The LAV-III LORIT conversion has been out for a while I believe:
Real Model
The other one is by Black Dog.
