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

Tamiya 35125 - Scale 1/35 M151A2 with Mounted TOW

This Tamiya 1/35 scale kit reproduces the U.S. M151A2 equipped with the TOW missile launcher, offering a compact subject that demonstrates post-war vehicle adaptation. The model shows how the BGM-71A TOW system improved anti-armor engagement ranges.

Context and Modelling Interest

The MUTT platform provided a flexible base for various weapons, and the switch to the TOW launcher represented a tactical improvement over older direct-fire systems. The kit showcases these layout changes for modellers interested in military conversions.

What Comes in the Box and Build Highlights

Components arrive moulded in tan plastic and include a seated driver, the sizeable launcher assembly that sits beside the front seat, plus a tri-pod for a dismounted display. Small extras such as a spare tyre, an ax and a Jerry can add realistic touches.
