You found LAVs?? I can't find those at all. :-/  1 large Abrahms,
a couple of M113s*, a platoon of Bradleys, and almost a company
of the smaller Abrahms (supposedly 1:113 scale? going by an older
Matchbox one I have which gives a scale; the Maisto's tanks are
identical, except no scale noted). I've found loads and loads of
trucks, more trucks, bulldozers (engineering company!), jeeps,
and HUMMVs, though. :-/

LAV. Must keep looking...

Mk

* - these seem to be *about* 25mm scale...at least it looks good
