Now, all I need to find is a FGM-148 Javelin ATGM in 1/35th

I'm not sure if anyone has done one (unless its part of a bigger kit).  You might need to scratch build one.

No-one, so far, but Live Resin had one in the works about 12 months ago, so I'll hold off scratching one for a bit as it's an easy add-on later down the track.

Yeah, Live Resin were the first lot I thought of.  Maybe try emailing Yaroslav directly to ask about it?

This really changed the looks of the original vehicle. I wasn't too sure about the spare tire cutout, but it looks perfect and logical now!

So, after 8 1/2 days with our land-line &, hence, internet down, I can report progress on the Armoured Vehicle Front!

Paint has happened!

ASLAV based scheme using Tamiya XF-78 Wooden Deck Tan, LifeColor UA 091 Dark Green (as the light green - go figure! :-\ ) & Tamiya XF-58 Olive Green (as the dark green). Not the actual Army colours but, then, they're going to be Marines vehicles when finished, so a bit of variation is OK in my universe.

I have been tossing around the idea of adding a 4th colour (Tamiya XF-52 Flat Earth) as another point of / obvious expression of difference to RW vehicles, but I'm beginning to feel it will look too crowded if I do that.

Anyway, photo's are still uploading to PhotoBucket - quite a few of them, actually. So, when that's done I'll chuck in a photo's-only post for your perusal.


Cheers! :icon_beer:

Didn't know you were doing this too, so you chopped up a LAV? Looks good, well done  :)

I have seen a resin Javelin shape some where on the interwebz.  Wish I could remember where it was but it was a resin accessory.   :icon_crap:

I think there was a discussion about them on Armorama (?) & I think it was Yaroslav (Live Resin) who put up a pic they have of one they are working on.

If they bring it out I'm buying half-a-dozen, at least! :)

Guy,

Must have been the Armorama discussion that I caught.  Hopefully LiveResin does produce a model of the Javelin soon.  I would probably set my sights on a dozen of the things to start with :)

Just received a Trumpy BRDM-2 (Late) in the mail because this was the vehicle that started the whole 4x4 ASLAV idea in the first place, so I had to have one.

The 4x4 ASLAV (from now on ASLAV 1A2) was to be a direct Western equivalent to the Soviet/Russian design - an amphibious, 4x4, light reconnaissance vehicle.

Quick check with the upper hull against the ASLAV 1A2 shows the BRDM to be the slightly larger of the 2 vehicles.

I'll probably build the BRDM-2 as a Ukrainian vehicle & put it in a dio with the ASLAV 1A2, in some form of joint operation.

Guy, take a close look at the parts runners in this Italeri 1:35th scale Modern Battle Accessories Kit (#6423) review at CyberModeler.  The one MANPATGM looks like it might be a Javalin but it is missing the CLU (Command Launch Unit).  There are three ATGM tubes/containers included in the kit.  One of these is definitely the FGM-77 (M47) Dragon and the other looks like the BGM-71 TOW missile canister-tube.  While the third tube could very well be the FGM-148 Javelin missile tube-canister (or something else).  The CLU part is what makes the Javelin easy to identify and I do not see that part in the kit. 

***edit for additional information. 

Guy, it appears that ProArt Models resin also includes two FGM-148 Javelin tubes in one of their modern equipment sets for tarting up the Trumpeter FMTV to make it one of those SOCOM support vehicles.  Found them by accident this evening while inspecting the purchases I made at the last model show. 

No CLU unfortunately :(

Thanks, Jeff! :)

I might have a look at them - or get around to contacting Yaroslav/Live Resin to see where they're at on theirs.

I can wait. It's going to be a bolt-on unit, so I can add it at any time. ;)

OK, this one is (with the exception of the commander, who can come later) done! :icon_music:

Photo's tomorrow.

The HMBLT will have to wait a little longer, while I do a couple of builds for a GB over on What If.
