1/35 LAV III LORIT Upgrade Stowage Baskets (for Trumpeter)

Update your LAV for the modern battlefield.

This 3D printed resin set provides the distinctive stowage baskets crafted specifically for the Canadian Army's LAV Operational Requirements Integration Task (LORIT) upgrade program. Designed as a direct upgrade for the 1/35 Trumpeter LAV III kit, these parts are essential for modeling a vehicle as deployed in the later stages of the war in Afghanistan and beyond.

Key Features:

  • Extreme Detail: 3D printing allows for the intricate mesh netting of the baskets to be reproduced with a level of realism and depth that traditional plastic molding or flat photo-etch parts cannot match.

  • Accurate LORIT Configuration: Captures the specific shape and size of the additional stowage bins added to the rear of the vehicle during the LORIT modernization.

  • Easy Integration: Designed to work seamlessly with the Trumpeter 1/35 LAV III kit, replacing or supplementing existing kit parts with minimal modification.

  • High-Quality Resin: Printed in crisp, durable grey resin, ready for primer and paint.

The LORIT Upgrade: A Canadian Necessity

The LORIT program was a comprehensive upgrade launched to address the evolving threats and operational needs faced by Canadian Forces in Afghanistan. Among many improvements, it included additional armor packages and, crucially, increased external stowage capacity to carry the extra gear required for extended missions. These rear baskets are one of the most visible external signs of a LORIT-upgraded LAV III.

Recommended for: Intermediate to advanced modelers looking to build the most accurate representation of a modern Canadian LAV III. This set is the perfect starting point for a detailed Operation Athena diorama.
