I wouldn't worry too much about ejector pin marks. I was in Amtracs during the 2003 Iraq invasion, and out tracs were so full of ammo cans, water jugs, mre boxes and assorted junk that you couldn't see much of any thing inside them. the mounting bosses are in reference to the eaak armor plates. the plates were bolted to those lugs. the black triangles are rubber foot pads for the track links. the vehicle you have is referred to as a straight leg. its the original style suspension without bogey rollers and had triangle track blocks. the ram/rs version has the later Bradley suspension with bigfoot square block tracks
I just bought this but I should have watched your review first. I'm just getting back into modeling after a long, long time and I don't think I need to start with this monstrosity first. I bought it because it was at $20 US, and I never-seen an AAV that cheap before.
Overengineering at its finest. I wanted to get this for a water diorama, but it would be a waste. At least 60% of plastic is for the interior, and as far as I know, aavp's with a back hatch open don't float. Looks like a great kit, but one trillion pieces gets boring to do after the piece 1.456.899.

+chzuniga1 i have not a single clue what you said but thanks...... I guess
Son los interiores, los que hacen la diferencia y tu lo mostraste claramente.
gracias
I've for two of these (don't ask!). One with bolt on armour. I need to get back to it as I made a start then got distracted by the interior. Nice kit!
Its does really look nice i just hope that those ejector marks get covered up or i got A LOT of work extra

+Richard wojo well the thing is at $20 you can give it a go and see how you do. You will definitely be pushing yourself but just take it slow
I thought about it all day! I need to change the tracks, something easier to handle, if there is such a thing. But I will take it on.
+Richard wojo im guessing that the only option for other tracks will be metal ones, if they are made friulmodel will have them most likely
