Detailed 1/35 M106A1 Armored Mortar Carrier Kit

The Tamiya 35116 model kit recreates the M106A1 Armored Self-Propelled Mortar in precise 1/35 scale for modellers focused on authentic armour builds. The kit captures the carrier used to deliver mortar support and includes parts intended for a true-to-life assembly.

Cold War Origins and Vehicle Role

As a member of the M113 family, the M106A1 served mechanized infantry units by combining mobility and protection. The real vehicle had a maximum speed of 68 km/h and a range of 483 km, and was commonly fitted with an auxiliary Browning M2 .50 caliber machine gun alongside its mortar payload.
