US M151A2 w/Tow Launcher

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.

TOW vs. Soviet and other tanks. The vehicle was the Cold War era answer to last ditch effort to defend against the Soviet tanks crossing into West Germany before they could get through the rest of the NATO defenses. The model shown here is easily built if you have every built a true JEEP as this is a model of Ford's offer. The kit is very basis and the detailing of the TOW launcher and two rounds in the storage tubes add to the detailing. As a defensive measure, as if it would repel tanks, the venerable M-60 Medium Machinegun was mounted above the TOW launcher. These have all been replaced by much more sophisticated vehicles and weapons that they are no longer around anywhere, except in your collection of Cold War warriors! I would highly recommend this and all the other Cold War vehicles for anyone.
