Just small additions and modifications. Overall this baby is ready for painting. There are a quite a few parts I did not glue because they require separate painting and adjustment before adding them to the hull. So here are they:

I've added a searchlight or work light to the the back next to the mast seen in these two pics below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I finally added the turret side baskets:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I added the hatch hinges, a modify gun mount, cables & the protective screen mount in front of the right hatch:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also add ties around the turret:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I redid the storage box ties. I did not like the first ties I did:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the laser device that will be mounted on the back of the turret. I did not mount it yet because I have to paint it separately. Then I have to install see through material at all 5 openings. This was one of the hardest to scratch built due to the angles. I went through 4 trails before I was satisfied:

More parts to be painted separately. I also made some barb wires and cables to add to the hull:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are the tires, rims and hub cabs that will be mounted on the vehicle. The hub cap was another design problem because I had to find something to match the opening of the center wheel mount. So I tried cutting out holes but the thinness of the styrene I used would ruin the material so I decided to use very thin steel washes, about 0.5 mm thick. I just drilled a small hole and glued on some bolts and voila!:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the strykers the wrinch mount is on the front hull. On some LAV III's the wrinch is at the top of the left side of the hull. Here is my version:
