Tamiya 35125 - 1/35 U.S. M151A2 with TOW Missile Launcher Scale Model Kit  [35125]

Tamiya 35125 - Detailed 1/35 M151A2 with TOW Launcher

This Tamiya 1/35 representation of the U.S. M151A2 fitted with a TOW Missile Launcher gives model builders the opportunity to recreate a compact but historically important military vehicle. The M151A2 earned its place as a light utility tactical truck adapted to mount the BGM-71A TOW system, enhancing anti-armor capability on the battlefield.

Background and Appeal for Modellers

The M151A2 MUTT evolved from earlier wartime jeeps into a versatile support vehicle prized for its mobility. Swapping older recoilless rifles for the TOW - Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided - system provided longer reach and better accuracy against armored targets, which is reflected in the kit's equipment layout.

Kit Build Details and Included Parts

Parts are injection-moulded in tan plastic and include a driver figure, a large forward-mounted missile launcher and a deployable tri-pod for a dismounted display. The box also supplies a spare wheel, an ax and a Jerry can to add period-correct detail to your build.
