1991 Desert Storm - Iraqi Army Progress
Adding AAV-7A1s to USMC 1991 Gulf War Force
In the course of building up my 1991 Gulf War USMC force, I ran across some old Forces of Valor toys that are in approximately the same scale that would make nice additions. Okay, they’re 1:144 (10mm) instead of 1:100 (15mm), but given the price people were asking for these same vehicles in Battlefront 15mm, I cut my losses and just used these … once they get a little love, that is.
The vehicles are the AAV-7A1, Amphibious Assault Vehicle used for beach landings by the USMC from the late 1970s to the present day (although back in the day they were formerly known as LVTP-7s).
Again, these are going to be a little off in scale. But since I already had them, didn’t have to build them, and with just a little love Forces of Valor toys can make really great miniatures in a pinch, and since I had extra parts lying around after building my Battlefront Marine vehicles, I decided to take the easy win and add these two AAV-7A1s to my Desert Storm force.
