US M151A2 w/Tow Launcher

EXCELLENT KIT BY TAMIYA. PARTS FIT QUITE WELL .DETAIL IS GOOD.NOBODY DOES ARMOR LIKE TAMIYA.

Per previous review, parts fit together extremely well. This is a small kit with many small parts. That said they fit well. Choice of three versions, one Marine, two army. Marine version requires some additional drilling. You have to make the antenna from a piece of sprue by heating and stretching. The decals are extremely small to work with, and you will have to apply some during construction. Instructions are very good, with actual photos of model showing difficult part locations.

This was a lot of fun to build. Tons of bits; they even throw in a .50 cal if you’re feeling frisky and an alternate shovel. I was a bit too intimidated to hand-craft an antenna from the sprue as instructed but my skill level isn’t that great. I also skipped the drilling, but even so it turned out wonderfully. Heck, build it with the TOW set up on the included tripod and you get two items for one outstanding price. I also didn’t cement the decently-detailed included driver just in case I wanted to use the vehicle for photos without him.
