LAV - 25 by LETbricks
This is a review of the LETbricks LAV (light armored vehicle) - 25. The company LETbricks is a newer company in the block building industry. They also deal a lot in MOC (my own creation) builders of block sets. They have over 18! pages of military sets to choose from. They have everything from World War I planes to mighty carriers and aircraft.
LETbricks was nice enough to send me their LAV - 25 set. The LAV - 25 was introduced into service with the United States Marines in 1983. It has a 25mm chain gun and two 7.62mm machine guns. As its name suggests it is light armored. However, because of that fact it also has a road speed of 62 mph! That means it is perfect for the role of a reconnaissance vehicle.
The set comes with 476 pieces. So, for a lot of the sets you see nowadays it is on the small side. Of course, LETbricks has incredibly large sets to also choose from. The instructions were very clearcut. The set goes together easily, and the bricks stay together without any problem. I have done a lot of kits from different companies, and I was very impressed with the set. It looks pretty much spot on to what the actual vehicle looks like. While it did not take long to build it was still enjoyable while doing the build.
As I have mentioned, the company LETbricks, has a ton of military sets to choose from. They have a beautiful line of naval warships sets that you will not find anywhere else. These include some ships that were really only planned along with some great historic ships. They have a set for the British Battleship Nelson along with sets of some Italian Battleships.
Another impressive group of sets they carry are ones that gives the builder car, truck, and airplane engines! These are large and very intricate true to life sets of these engines.
Just look at these:

| V16 Diesel Engine |
This is the Italian Battleship Vittoria Veneto set:

| 3259 Pieces! |
These are some pics I took during the build:
Thank you LETbricks for allowing me to review your LAV - 25 set and seeing how easy it was to build and how great it looks on the shelf when it is done.
