1/35 HobbyBoss LAV-150 APC 90mm Mecar Gun

Modeling Subjects Armor

I don’t do much armour, but every now and then I do a kit for fun. I found no problems with this kit, I have never tried HobbyBoss armour before. My only complaint would be, the colour call out does not mention what country this is from and there are no decals to represent a nation either.

I tried something different with this one, using Flory grime wash mixed with vallejo airbrush cleaner to do a wash for the interior, and Flory brown wash mixed with vallejo airbrush cleaner to do exterior wash. I used the hairspray technique for the interior chipping. I also used dark dirt pigment and used some Vallejo brown earth effects on the base. I also added an AM Aluminium barrel on it.

I like it. Your weathering looks great, both inside and out. The chipped paint really catches my eye. Your decision to model the vehicle with all of its hatches open was a good one. It’s rare and unique to see so much of the interior without disassembling the vehicle or using a cut-away. I don’t really know who makes the vehicle, but I’ll guess it’s from a NATO country. The US Air Force formerly used a similar vehicle (minus the turret) for their security forces.

Nicely done. This little kit seems to have a decent amount of internal detail.

According to the description on the HobbyBoss website, this vehicle seems to be in Malaysian service.

Nice work and it’s always nice to see something a little different here… kudos!
