"Great for Beginners"

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.

 
"TOW to Toe!"

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 These have all been replaced by much more sophisticated vehicles and weapons that they are no longer around anywhere, except in your collection of Cold War warriors!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.

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.
