Hey all,
I just picked up a Tamiya LVTP7A1 kit and I’m considering building it as how our AAV7 appeared in Desert Storm. Ours was an engineer vehicle during ODS and had a MICLIC in the troop compartment.
So, does anyone do an aftermarket 1:35 MICLIC launcher for the LVTP7?
Thanks!
Hi Jon. Is it just a standard MICLIC setup inside the AAV? If so, you can get most of the parts from this set off Cults3D.
It builds up nicely.
I am currently printing some of the parts from it to make an M60 AVLB.
Thanks Gino!
I’m trying to find images of it installed. I’ve got a bunch of pics of our vehicle just after ODS in the office. Hoping there’s better images there, but from what I remember, it was just the exterior.
Not ODS but it might have been similar.
This may be a later version, but this one shows a different launcher rail, internal Line Charge box, and additional roof hatches.
Dragon makes a 1/72 version.
First shot is when she was being installed in Gallery 13. The others are just after Desert Storm, before she was pulled back into service.
I wonder if our in-house expert @AmTrac1833 has any insight on this tunaboat?
RPG Hit?
Yep! Took an RPG hit to the ramp
So the MICLIC launcher for the Desert Storm era AAV/LVTP was the Mk154, so it’s different from the M58. The 3D printed M58 is probably modifiable to look somewhat correct.
