The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of American military car in 1:35 scale.
The Tamiya kit allows you to build the M151A2 Ford Mutt off-road M161A2 off-road vehicle with the driver. The PPK TOW system has been developing since the 1960s and is today the primary mobile anti-armor weapon of the US Army. With an effective range of 3750 m, the missile is capable of penetrating a 600 mm thick armor.
The box contains 3 frames with model elements, a transparent plastic frame with glass and decals (allow the reconstruction of an Army vehicle or the United States Marine Corps).
Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints according to the proposed paint scheme in the instruction. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing.
