"Great for Beginners"
snod
From what I can tell this is one of Tamiya early kits (1983). You can see a lot of the excellent detail and molding being developed. Pro's: Great fit and excellent detail. The decals were no problem. Instructions are good. You can build either an Army or Marine Corps version. Painting guide in the instructions are good. A list of all Tamiya colors is listed in acrylic paints. One driver is included. Plenty of options are included in this kit. I built the Marine Corps version. I added extra's to my model. First, I added a cable from the tow launcher down to the tow launcher's control box. I used extra rubber brake line from my spare box. Second, I added a metal antenna instead of sprue. I use this for all my antenna's. Con's: No engine. Check out the other reviews. They will list so much more about this kit that I left out. They are all good. Keep having fun.

"An amazing little kit"
sirzach1
I gave this kit a 4 star rating, due to one tiny fact, and that is the front wheels can't be turned, if they made the front wheels turn able, this kit would be over the top. This doesn't directly affect the kit, but the give you some parts not used, I'd love if they gave these parts a purpose, like the 249 looking gun to be stored on the vehicle. But they give no such instruction on to how to do so. Other than that, it has great detail on underside, and all around. If you like the WWII Willys jeep from Tamiya, you'll enjoy this one, it has far more detail, and gives you an option to have the TOW on a stand. It also has a far more detailed soldier, and no the soldier doesn't fit in the WWII Willys.

 
"I built the 1983 Grenada Invasion kit"
roblively1982 (Cantonment, Florida)
Again, this is the 1983 Grenada invasion version of this kit. Anyway, Tamiya did a great job on this kit quality wise, but rivet counters will have issues. The kit, I think, is a reiteration of the Ford Mutt, and is the Grenada 1983 version, with two new figures and gear. The figures are all sculpted very nicely and the two newest figures could rival resin figures I have worked on. The vehicle goes together very well and is very delicate. There is a wire-cutter that can be mounted to the front bumper. They even have extra goodies and make the vehicle look ready for deployment in Operation Fury, included decals for taped off headlights. Of course, you don’t have to build it that way. There are problems with the kit, though. While the kit features the newly issued Kevlar helmets first used in Grenada, they only fit the passengers. The driver has to wear the old M1 GI style helmet or you will have to replace the head. I test fitted but would have had to trim his head down to nothing to get it to fit. The .50 cal mount is also iffy. Continuous firing of that bad boy would have bent the mount or even cracked the jeep frame, I think. The ALICE rucksacks are a nice addition, along with the cots and pretty accurate, too. The men would have gone in laager after their patrol, so all three could have slept. If not, two would sleep while one had the watch. Also, there are no canteens or MRE’s/MCI’s/C rats included. Napoleon said that an army travels on its stomach, and these troopers would be no exception. I have a spares box, but that is not the point. It is a very nice kit. Too bad Tamiya cut corners on accuracy. Recommended.

 
"Variations Galore"

Sorry Hobbylinc I found this in my local store and snapped it up as a Nephew gift. Inexpensive, and although I followed the TOW instructions for Army the Marine version was a little more challenging (less realistic too). Is a kit that can be modified in so many ways with very little scratch-build knowledge and will certainly purchase again to try.
