The M163 VADS features the General Dynamics 20mm M61 Vulcan rotary cannon in a turreted mount, and played a role in U.S. Army short-range air defence. Italeri's 1/35 kit reproduces these external features for a convincing scale model.
Used in conjunction with systems like the M48 Chaparral, the M163 served anti-aircraft and anti-helicopter duties while retaining the ability to engage soft ground targets. This kit honours that operational heritage and gives modellers a detailed build experience.
