1/35 Anti-Tank Weapons M40A1 & TOW A1

Description

This is an injection-plastic field gun model kit.

This is a set of the old plus the new anti-tank weapons from the US Arsenal. The M40A1 106mm RR was used extensively during the Vietnam War by the US Marines and later by its western allies’ armies. The TOW is a well known anti-tank missile which features a tube-launched, optical-tracking, wire-guided missile; it has been deployed since the 1970’s and has been in active service to the present, with improvements. Basically, both weapons were developed for anti-tank use, but it was found they were useful as ‘bunker busters’, too. AFV Club represents these successful weapons with very fine details. The M40A1 has the 12.7mm spotting rifle and optional breech clothing mechanism. Eight rounds of ammo and two used cartridges are included. The TOW A1 has a thermal sight, an important feature of contemporary weaponry, which parts have often been neglected with other old kits. Photo-etched parts for the tripod mount and two additional missile tubes are included, too.
