The armament consists of the 25mm M242 Bushmaster automatic cannon and two 7.62mm machine guns.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The LAV-A2 was developed as a far-reaching modernisation of the LAV-25. It is based on many of its components, but has many changes. First of all, the ballistic resistance of the vehicle was improved by strengthening the armour, which was the responsibility of the company Armatec Survivability. It is assumed that the new armour provides protection against bullets up to a calibre of 14.5 mm. The suspension system, the fire protection system inside the car, the turret rotation system with the main weapons and improved sights have also been significantly changed. The vehicle still has very good off-road properties and amphibious abilities. It is also possible to transport it by air. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCurrently, there are approximately 240 vehicles of this type in the line in various versions, and the unit cost (according to prices from 2013-2014) is estimated at approximately USD 1.8-1.9 million.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-28T09:18:20+02:00","created_at":"2026-07-28T09:18:15+02:00","vendor":"Trumpeter","type":"Scale Model Kits","tags":["Brand_Trumpeter","Category_Armour \/ Military","Scale_1\/35 Scale","Type_Wheeled AFVs"],"price":78995,"price_min":78995,"price_max":78995,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":49111194796283,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9580208015217","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Trumpeter - 1\/35 LAV-A2 8X8 Wheeled Armoured Vehicle","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":78995,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Trumpeter-1-35-LAV-A2-8X8-Wheeled-Armoured-Vehicle.jpg?v=1785223098"],"featured_image":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Trumpeter-1-35-LAV-A2-8X8-Wheeled-Armoured-Vehicle.jpg?v=1785223098","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":41767029309691,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.499,"height":367,"width":550,"src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Trumpeter-1-35-LAV-A2-8X8-Wheeled-Armoured-Vehicle.jpg?v=1785223098"},"aspect_ratio":1.499,"height":367,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Trumpeter-1-35-LAV-A2-8X8-Wheeled-Armoured-Vehicle.jpg?v=1785223098","width":550}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch1\u003e1\/35 LAV-A2 8X8 Wheeled Armoured Vehicle\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTrumpeter 01521\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcludes all glues, paints and tools necessary to assemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLAV-A2 (other designation: LAV-25 A2 ) is an American, modern, wheeled armoured personnel carrier.
